Florida Building Code Update

August 6, 2009

	Dear all interested parties:

	The purpose of this email is to provide you with an update
regarding the current update to the 2007 Florida Building Code. At the
June 9, 2009 Commission meeting, the Commission held a rule adoption
hearing regarding Rule 9B-3.047 for the purpose of reviewing and taking
action on the proposed glitch code changes to the 2007 FBC including the
update to 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC). As the result of the
hearing, staff published a "Notice of Change" detailing the changes as
approved by the Commission. The changes are posted at the link below and
titled "Notice of Change as a result of the June 9, 2009 hearing".

	As per Chapter 120, Florida Statutes procedures, the Notice of
Change was noticed/published for 21 days; however because of a technical
oversight in the notice, we issued another "Notice of Change" which also
must be published for 21 days. After the notice is complete, the Rule
will be filed with the Department of State. The projected effective date
for the proposed changes is now late September 2009. 

________________________________

	   Also, please note that according to 553.73(7), Florida
Statues, which states in part "...Following the approval of any
amendments to the Florida Building Commission by the Commission and
publication of the amendments on the Commission's website, authorities
having jurisdiction to enforce the Florida Building Code may enforce the
amendments." This means that enforcement agencies such as local building
departments, as of June 9, 2009, may enforce the provisions of the
"Notice of Change" noted above including the 2008 NEC or wait until the
official adoption of the rule which is projected to go into effect late
September 2009.

	Thanks for your support and understanding
