It’s not unusual for a politician to be attracted to a cause in which they have prior knowledge and experience. What led to my stance on timeshare reform is based partly on my military history. Disabled Combat Veterans and active duty service members have expressed concerns about timeshare. I’ve heard from over 200 timeshare members. Many are veterans and active duty service members. An active duty service member can lose their security clearance over a timeshare foreclosure.

The timeshare Public Offering Statement (POS) is the first line of defense for consumers who experienced misrepresentations or lack of disclosure during timeshare sales presentations. In some states the POS is called a Disclosure Statement. Most timeshare contracts are perpetual and, unlike a primary residence, cannot be easily sold. 

Meanwhile, attorneys and time-share owners have questioned a provision that reduces liability for time-share developers if they make errors in contracts. Errors or omissions that are considered "nonmaterial" would not allow purchaser-cancellation rights after 10 days. Stargel said the legislation is meant to keep time-share owners from getting out of their contracts by finding minor flaws in them. It is meant to cover only technicalities, she said, not major problems. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-timeshare-bill-20150312-story.html

A Successful Timeshare Cancellation Negotiation

By Maddy, a Bahamas timeshare buyer 

I am 69 years old. I live in North Carolina. I would like to add my story to the long list of others who purchased a timeshare under adverse conditions. Because of what happened to me, I firmly support offering the timeshare buyer 24 hours to think about their purchase. The decision to purchase a timeshare can have long-lasting effects.
