• The ACO directed Sran to immediately register the New Home for coverage with home warranty insurance (“HWI”) provided by a warranty provider pursuant to s. 22(1) of the Act, or provide proof that the New Home was built by a Licensed Residential Builder and is enrolled in a policy of HWI pursuant to s. 22 of the Act; and
