A big HOA amendment will be added to the bill at a committee stop.
This bill really is well worth fighting for.
We need to make Speaker Larry Cretul understand that H 1397 has to be added to the agenda of the Civil Justice & Courts Policy Committee in Tuesday, March 24, 2009.
Just for your info: Otherwise our bill is dead! PERIOD!
The bill is needed to protect the financial welfare of owners living in community associations.
Speaker Larry Cretul was before his election to the Florida House the Chairman of the Marion County Commission. He made HOA reforms a high priority in 2001.
We need everybody -- and then some – to ask the Speaker to make H 1397 a priority bill. You all need to contact him and his offices!
Especially all our folks in Marion County and surrounding areas need to call his district offices and send e-mails to him -- and his legislative assistant and district secretaries.
Here are the e-mail addresses:
Speaker Larry Cretul: LARRY.CRETUL@myfloridahouse.gov
Legislative Assistant Gina Evans: Gina.Evans@myfloridahouse.gov
District Secretaries:

Some speaking points:
Please make H 1397 a House Priority Bill.
As a Marion County Commissioner you (the Speaker) heard about all the problems in the homeowners’ associations in Marion County in 2001. It has gotten worse.
This bill will not cost any taxes or will have any impact on the budget, it is just a bill that contains many provisions to help owners living in these community associations and protect them against the downfalls of the bad economy and the "dead" real-estate market.
It will return COMMON SENSE to our community associations.
Florida’s owners living in community associations need this bill to protect their financial welfare in these testing times.
More than 20 members of the Florida House of Representatives listened in the last 15 months at various town hall meetings to the requests of homeowners and condo owners. This bill is the result!
It is a bill requested by the owners, not by special interest!
The help of the Speaker of the House would be very much appreciated!
