Six people were put on the agenda to testify at the hearing, including Jerry Howard, executive vice president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), as well as members of the insurance and medical/scientific communities. Executives of contractor associations, including Jim Hussey, chairman of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), and other organizations submitted written testimony.
From the NAHB’s perspective, Howard said, “The mold issue raises a number of legitimate questions that merit serious discussion and require further investigation. Unfortunately, many of the legitimate issues have become obscured by litigation and misleading information.”
