Spurred by the example of a home builder with a criminal record who's under investigation in Lackawanna County, I have introduced a bill (H.B. 1821), that would require home builders to register with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection.

You are invited to attend a local public hearing on the bill being held by the House Consumer Affairs Committee:

10 a.m. Thursday March 13
Ramada Inn Clarks Summit
820 Northern Blvd.
Clarks Summit, PA 18411

I also invite you to share your home-building experiences so they may be submitted as testimony.
