Less than one year after the tragic collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, which tragically killed 98, Florida lawmakers unanimously passed a new law, which Governor Ron DeSantis signed immediately, which bolsters state building inspections laws in hopes of preventing a future tragedy.
We examine the new law’s provisions with the bill’s sponsor, plus discuss with panelists whether the law’s requirements are enough to ensure this never happens again.
GUESTS:
- State Rep. Daniel Perez [R], District 116, Miami
- Charles Burkett, former Surfside Mayor
- Asher Wildman, Spectrum News reporter
