LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
AB 421
Assembly Bill 421, legislation attempting to undo the 2015 construction defect reforms, was heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning. Thank you to everyone that attended and signed up in opposition to the bill. The hearing was well attended and we appreciate your support.
OPPOSITION TO AB 421: The Nevada Home Builders Association (comprised of the Builders Association of Northern Nevada and the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association) testified shoulder-to-shoulder with the Leading Builders of America, Association of General Contractors ("AGC"), Associated Builders and Contractors ("ABC"), Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Granite Construction, and representatives of business communities from both northern and southern Nevada in opposition to AB 421. Former FBI Agent Michael Elliott, who was the lead investigator against HOA corruption, provided expert testimony on the organized crime and fraud related to HOA communities and construction defect cases. Mr. Elliott emphasized how the wide-spread corruption and illegal activity would likely occur again if the current form of AB 421 becomes law.

NAHB Commends Housing Legislation
|
NAHB Chairman Greg Ugalde commended House Financial Services Chair- woman Maxine Waters for seeking to address the housing affordability crisis by introducing the
‘Housing is Infrastructure Act.'
“The chairwoman’s bill highlights the role that additional costs, such as fees associated with infrastructure, play in housing affordability," Ugalde said. “Providing increased funding for important affordable housing programs and working to lower impact fees and streamline the development process are positive steps."

Review Shows Tariffs Equal $1 Billion Tax
|
The U.S. Trade Representative last year announced its
intention to levy tariffs
on a series of imports from China. USTR rolled out proposed tariffs in three waves, with the third list (List 3) covering approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The NAHB economics department examined the imports identified on List 3 and found that the value of the 450 building materials included on List 3 is roughly $10 billion. So a 10 percent tariff on these goods would represent a $1 billion tax increase on the housing industry.

M"E.D." Why Home Builders Should be Concerned
Walt Keaveny, Risk Manager, MS, PE, PG
article by 2-10 Home Warranty
|
No…this is not an article about those uncomfortable television commercials that always seem to come on when you’re watching late-night television with the kids. “E.D.” in the new home warranty industry, is an acronym for “Early Development.” Early Development refers to the timing of when structural claims occur during the 10 year warranty term. What factors determine when structural claims occur? Why is this important to home builders?
