This bill amends chapter 74-565 of the Laws of Florida, specifically revising the definition of "building official" within Palm Beach County. The updated definition specifies that a "building official" is an individual responsible for administering and enforcing the Florida Building Code, who must now possess a Florida Building Code Administrator certification and be serving in a municipality or the county. The previous requirement for the individual to be a full-time employee of the municipality or county has been removed, allowing for greater flexibility in the role.

Additionally, the bill changes the terminology from "election district" to "commission district" and clarifies that the building official must be nominated from the respective commission district where the jurisdiction is located. These changes aim to modernize the definition and ensure that the qualifications for building officials align with current standards and practices. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
