In the wake of the Surfside condo collapse, the Florida Bar has created a group to help state leaders consider condominium-related issues. The Condominium Law and Policy on Life Safety Task Force will be chaired by William Sklar, an attorney who also teaches at the University of Miami School of Law.
“The task force will serve as a resource to the governor and Legislature as they review all aspects of Florida condominium law, development, association operations and maintenance to determine and recommend if legislative and or regulatory changes should be enacted to minimize the likelihood of a similar tragedy,” said a news release from the The Florida Bar Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section.
State and federal officials have raised the possibility of pursuing legislation to address construction and engineering issues after the collapse of the Champlain Towers South.
