Chinese drywall task force proposed by state senator

A state senator in South Florida is asking Gov. Charlie Crist to set up a statewide task force to address defective imported drywall in homes and create laws in a proposed emergency session this summer that can be taken to the Legislature. Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, said he’s sending a letter to Crist asking that a task force comprised of building industry members, scientists, health experts and consumers to get a handle on how big the drywall issue is in the state and what government may need to do to address it. The task force would focus on protecting consumers who have bought homes with defective drywall or are considering a home that may have the imported drywall installed, Aronberg said. However, much of the task force’s work also will address the need of the builders and domestic manufacturers of the drywall, as both could suffer as a result of the problem.
