August 16, 2008, 10:48am (report abuse)Thank you Mr. Conaway. This is long overdue legislation that will dramatically increase the life of the applied paints and coatings thereby saving money and improving safety. There needs to be a mechanism to assure that the stated maintainence is, in fact, accomplished.
