SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Warranties and insurance on new building products. Directs the Virginia Housing Study Commission to study the feasibility and appropriateness of requiring warranties or other forms of insurance on new building products introduced into the housing construction market. In conducting the study, the Commission shall identify and examine ways to save Virginia citizens from incurring the full costs of defective building products, including home warranty insurance plans, bonding by the manufacturer in the event of product failure, recovery of funds, and other means of providing financial protection for consumers.

It should be noted that this summary also represents the amendment in the nature of a substitute for HJR 620 that was adopted by the House Committee on Rules, prior to the tabling of the measure. This resolution has been incorporated into SJR 446 (Whipple).
