BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

Building Construction (Monitor)

CS/CS/HB 89 (Maggard) and CS/SB 512 (Hooper) would prohibit a local government from making substantive changes to building plans after a permit has been issued. If substantive changes are made after a permit is issued, the local government must identify the specific plan features that do not comply with the Florida Fire Prevention Code or Life Safety or local amendments, identify the specific code chapters and sections upon which the finding is based and provide this information to the permitholder. A local fire inspector, plans reviewer or building official who fails to comply will be subject to disciplinary action. CS/CS/HB 89 passed the House (116-0) and is awaiting action by the Senate.
