Virginia Housing Commission Begins Work
When the Virginia General Assembly adjourned for the 2008 regular session, a total of thirty-one bills had been referred to the Housing Commission for additional study and recommendations. At the Commission’s first meeting in the legislative interim, AOBA was appointed to three work groups, including the critical Housing and Environmental Standards Workgroup. AOBA sought this position in order to represent the industry’s concerns with regard to legislative proposals to mandate retrofitting of automatic sprinkler systems in all high-rise residential buildings across the Commonwealth by December 31, 2017.
