AGCGF Bats .923 For the 2007 Legislative Session and .750 for the 2008 Session!

 

In 2007, our Governmental Affairs Team went 12 for 13 on Construction Related Bills Including Big Wins on the Jessica Lunsford Glitch Bill & OCIP Bill.  

 

During the 2008 regular legislative session -- the toughest in Florida’s history -- nine of 12 bills were passed or defeated as desired by our members for a 75 percent success rate.  Florida’s legislators filed just over 2,500 bills for consideration during this 60-day session. Of this total, only 313 bills ultimately passed both the House and the Senate and will go on to Governor Crist for his approval or veto – the smallest number on record. More than 300 bills got halfway there, passing one chamber but not the other.

AGC's Legislative Team gets

results in Tallahassee!

 

 “A change to bring Florida’s statute of repose on construction defects down from 15 years to 10 years was absolutely necessary to respond to the realities of the insurance marketplace for general contractors, many of whom could not insure their projects for more than 10 years.  Florida’s Associated General Contractors fought long and hard to get this bill passed in 2006.  Some members of the construction industry wanted to hold out for a reduction down to 7 or 8 years.  In my view as both an attorney and a legislator, such a reduction would have raised serious constitutional concerns and would not have passed the Legislature either in 2006 or in the foreseeable future.  In the meantime, Florida’s general contractors would have been left exposed to significant liability with no insurance to cover that risk.

 

Representative Bill Galvano

(R-Bradenton)

Sponsor of House Repose Bill (HB 1089)

 

“Moving the statute of repose on construction defects down from 15 years to 10 years was critical for this state’s general contractors, many of whom could not obtain insurance coverage on their projects for a period beyond 10 years.  This essential change in the law would not have happened without the extraordinary efforts of Florida’s Associated General Contractors.”

 

Senator Charlie Clary (R-Destin)

Sponsor of Senate Repose Bill (SB 1940)

 


 

The Associated General Contractors
Of Greater Florida, Inc
.

 

The Associated General Contractors of Greater Florida, Inc., was borne from the 1999 merger of the Northeastern Florida Chapter of the AGC and the AGC of Mid-Florida Chapter.  The chapters had their original charters established by the AGC of America in 1925 and 1941, respectively.  Collectively, the AGC of Greater Florida has been representing the Florida construction markets, serving 31 counties in the Northeast and West Coast regions for over 140 years. We now serve 70 percent of Florida's counties. 

 

The AGC of Greater Florida is a chapter of qualified construction contractors and industry-related companies who are dedicated to skill, integrity and responsibility.

 

The AGC of Greater Florida provides broad influence and a full range of services fulfilling the needs and concerns of its members, partners and industry, thereby improving the quality of construction and protecting the public interests.

 

Our national association, the AGC of America, also represents AGC of Greater Florida members.  Founded in 1918, the AGC of America represents over 33,000 General Contractors, specialty contractors, suppliers and service provider members throughout an additional 99 chapters nationwide.

 

The goal of the AGC of Greater Florida, in conjunction with AGC of America, is to continue to work in the best interest of our members and the employees they represent.
