Richard Acree Featured in FL Herald Tribune Article about HB 93

Richard Acree was featured in an article about HB 93 published in the FL Herald Tribune by Michael Moore Jr., Staff Writer in Sarasota. The article, New Florida bill offers Tax Breaks on Independent Living Items, explains HB 93 as a measure that would provide individuals with tax breaks when purchasing some items designed to help people age in their own home, such as shower seats, bed rails and grab bars, that was recently proposed for Florida’s 2020 legislative session by Rep. Joseph Casello, D-Boynton Beach.

Richard Acree, a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) and owner of the consulting firm ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Inspections Nationwide, said that he thinks the bill is terrific and would love to see more legislation like it. “My first impression is that anything that encourages people to take action in their own homes and, in particular, to enhance safety in their homes, which all of these devices will do, is a good thing,” said Acree.
