In the upcoming legislative session pool builders will be fighting to get the Jim Walter exemption, the proposal has been well received by levitative leadership and FSPA is optimistic about the bill's chances of success. The flood plan guidance from FEMA has been adopted and going into the new building code, effective January 1, 2021. Congratulations to John Garner and Dallas Theisen for getting this accomplished! Many, many hours were spent and we are very appreciative!
As always, this is your Chapter – make the most of it by attending meetings and participating in the events. Speak up – if there are things you want to see us doing, let us know! We are always looking for new ideas and we would really like to see some new people interested in serving on the Board of Directors.
