Upcoming Hearings

Thought I would share a posting I received from Real Estate Investors Association.  Here it is: 

REIA, with support from our friends at NWRIA and real estate investors throughout the State, is working toward some semblance of reason on SHB 1843, the “new” Contractor Registration requirements that affect real estate investors and property managers. We plan to make a strong showing at the upcoming hearings.  Plan to attend ALL THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN.  This is not up to someone else–it is up to YOU to voice your opinions.Remember, this Substitute House Bill has already been passed into law.  That means that we have to work that much harder! REIA will do our part if you will do yours.  

The hearing schedule is:

• Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 10:00 AM
  Dept of Labor & Industries, Tukwila Service Location
  12806 Gateway Drive, Tukwila, WA
• Thursday, February 28, 2008, 9:00 AM
  Dept of Labor & Industries
  7273 Linderson Way SW, Tumwater, WA
• Thursday, March 06, 2008, 10:00 AM
  Dept of Labor & Industries, Moses Lake Service Location
  3001 West Broadway Ave, Moses Lake, WAA text of the bill as it was passed into law is on the Washington Legislature’s website.  To view the Bill Click here.

The new law isn’t the end of world and absolutely SHOULD NOT STOP ANYONE FROM DOING DEALS!  Until this is resolved, it is just another cost of doing business.  A cost that we want to see removed from our rehab budgets!
