Board
Executive Committee Hearing Feb 15 2006 9:30 AM Capitol Building Room
118 Springfield
HB 4496
This would allow the state to form a dispute board that homeowners
could bring issues to when the landlord does not work with them. It is a
great tool that other states use to help resolve problems. If the
bill does not make it out of committee on the 15th, it will be laid to rest
until next year.
We want to thank everyone who took the time to call and write the
Rules Committee allowing for this bill to get a hearing. Now on to the next
important step. The Executive House Committee is not new to our issues
and knows from past history that we can get the calls to them. What we
need at this hearing is people, as many of you that can attend the hearing as
possible. Representative Lisa Dugan and Terry Nelson have been
working hard to get this passed. You can not be surprised that the
landlord organizations opposing this bill are telling committee members it
is not needed, most landlords work well with homeowners in their
communities and there are only a few bad apples out there.
Terry Nelson will be there at 9:00 to help everyone to
fill out the slips and any other guidance needed. We want to thank you in
advance for your time and support.
