Mold Legislation Slows To A Crawl
Monday, September 8th, 2003 Legislation & RegulationDespite an initial rush of proposed legislation aimed at dealing with the problems related to mold claims and homeowners insurance, very few bills have been enacted in 2003, according to the Alliance of American Insurers. "Compared with 2002, when only a handful of bills were introduced, 2003 has seen an onslaught of would-be solutions to the mold issue," Alliance director of Claims Kirk Hansen said. "But as the legislative sessions come to a close, we‘ve seen only a small number of bills actually passed, and most of those have been positive bills that will help the situation. "So far in 2003, 56 bills have been introduced in 21 states. Only 10 bills have been signed into law while 29 did not pass and 17 remain in committee or appear destined to die without making it to a vote."
