Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION

Division:

Florida Building Commission

Chapter:

FLORIDA BUILDING COMMISSION OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

Overview

RULE:

61G20-2.003

Local Amendments to the Florida Building Code

PURPOSE:

House Bill 401 (2021) created a process whereby a person may petition the Florida Building Commission for a nonbinding advisory opinion about whether a local regulation constitutes a technical amendment to the Florida Building Code. The Commission is required to adopt a form for the petition and directions for filing, and this proposed rulemaking will do so. HB 401 also modified the structure of subsection 553.73(4), F.S., in a manner that now subjects all local code amendments to triennial review by the Commission, and potential expiration. Prior to HB 401, only local technical amendments were subject to triennial review and potential expiration, and the Commission’s rule will be updated to track the new statutory language. The Commission also intends to correct an outdated citation in the current rule.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendment will adopt a form for petitions for nonbinding advisory opinions regarding whether local regulations constitute technical amendments to the Florida Building Code, and will also correct an outdated citation.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY:

553.73(4), 553.73(5), FS.

LAW:
