Rep. Porter of Indiana and Member of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus introduced
HB 1415 which is a bed bug bill that outlines duties and responsibilities for landlords, tenants, and PMPs. In most circumstances, PMPs must be hired to inspect and treat for bed bugs. NPMA joined the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) Corporate Round Table and Rep. Herod of Colorado introduced her bed bug law at the Annual Legislative Conference in December, where it earned the
NBCSL’s endorsement of model legislation. This is the first bill introduced after NBCSL endorsed Rep. Herod’s bed bug law. We look forward to working with Rep. Porter and having more bills introduced by Black Caucus members in states across the country.
