AI Summary
This bill makes the following key changes:
1. It authorizes the Florida Building Commission to approve updates to the Florida Building Code every 3 years without a finding that they are needed, in order to accommodate the specific needs of the state.
2. It prohibits local governments from carrying forward unexpended funds from building code enforcement fees that exceed the average of their previous 4 fiscal years' operating budgets for that purpose. Any excess funds must be used for rebates or fee reductions.
3. It clarifies that a notice of claim filed under the "Notice and Opportunity to Repair" law is not considered an "action" for the purposes of the statute of limitations.
The bill is aimed at streamlining the process for updating the Florida Building Code and managing the funds collected by local governments for building code enforcement activities.
