By Alison Rice. Every builder’s least favorite spore has gone national. U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) recently introduced a bill to the House that would develop standards for preventing, detecting, and treating mold.

The consumer-friendly bill offers builders no liability protection for past or future mold claims, according to the NAHB.
