Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION

Division:

Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Board

Chapter:

CERTIFICATION, EXAMINATION, APPLICATION, CERTIFICATE RENEWAL, INACTIVE STATUS

Overview

RULE:

61G19-6.0035	Application for Provisional and/or Standard Certification
61G19-6.015	Inactive Status

PURPOSE:

6.0035:  This proposed amendment implements recent statutory change through the addition of fire safety as a recognized category of experience suitable for licensure. 6.015: This proposed amendment implements recent statutory changes limiting the amount of continuing education the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Boards housed therein may require of licensees who wish to reactivate delinquent or inactive licenses.

SUMMARY:

6.0035:  Currently, fire safety inspector licenses are not recognized as sufficient certification to support an application for licensure as an inspector or plans examiner.  The proposed amendment implements recent changes to chapter 468, F.S. which included the possession of a fire safety inspector license issued pursuant to Chapter 633, F.S. as a means to fulfill eligibility requirements established to take the examination for certification as either a building code inspector or plans examiner. 6.015: Currently, any individual who wishes to convert to active status a delinquent or inactive license as a building code administrator, inspector, or plans examiner must complete all continuing education course work that would have been required had the licensee’s status remained active.  The proposed change reduces the number of continuing educations hours required to reactivate an inactive or delinquent license from 14 hours for each inactive biennium to 14 hours for the last inactive biennium before reactivation.
