Florida Statute, Chapter 553.77(1)(b), requires the Commission to make a continual study of the Florida Building Code and related laws and on a triennial basis report findings and recommendations to the Legislature for provisions of law that should be changed. The Commission conducted the first assessment in 2005, and this year (2010) the Commission will again solicit stakeholder input in the form of an on-line survey, and at the October 2010 Commission meeting consider and develop a package of recommendations for enhancements to the Florida Building Code System. The Commission’s recommendations will be a major component of their Report to the 2011 Legislature.
