SURFSIDE – South Florida leaders and Surfside victim
family members are calling for condo reform during a special session on
Thursday morning.
Last month the Florida
state legislature completed its session without reaching an
agreement on legislation that was brought about in response
to the collapse that was meant to improve safety and prevent
another similar tragedy.
The amount of money that will be saved on not keeping
buildings safe, will be spent on funerals and medical
expenses, let’s do the right thing and work together,”
Martin Langesfeld, who lost his sister and brother-in-law in
the Surfside condo collapse said.
The lawmakers and people gathered here today called on Gov.
Ron DeSantis to put condo reform on its agenda for next
week’s special legislative session and to hopefully get
something passed.
“We’re not here to tell them how to do it or what to do it,
just that they should do it. If they care enough about
making sure, never another Surfside tragedy,” Representative
Debbie Wasserman Schultz said. |

During the legislative session, lawmakers were close to
making an agreement but ultimately did not decide on one.
Lawmakers are hoping during the special legislative session they can get
something done.
