Attached is a summary of 2010 legislation of interest to real estate
practitioners. The summary was prepared by Pete Dunbar and his team,
who are the lobbyists for the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law
Section of the Fla Bar. Please note that most of the legislation has
not yet been acted upon by the Governor, who can sign a bill, veto it or
allow it to become law without his signature. The Governor has 14 days
after he receives the legislation to act. There can be a lag of a
couple of weeks after a bill passes the Legislature before it gets to
the Governor's desk.

Thanks Neil.

With the exception of the assessment collection provision of the condo
statute amendment, it looks like we escaped most of the items pointed
our way.

Another successful year for those of us in the "if it ain't written
right, don't pass it" camp.
