This bill amends the definition of "building official" in chapter 74-565, Laws of Florida, specifically for Palm Beach County. The revised definition specifies that a "building official" is an individual responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Florida Building Code, who must now possess a Florida Building Code Administrator certification and be serving in a municipality or county. The previous requirement that the individual be a full-time employee of the municipality or county has been removed, and the language regarding the election district has been updated to refer to a "commission" instead of an "election" district.

The bill also clarifies that the building official must be nominated from the respective commission district where the jurisdiction is situated. This change aims to ensure that the building official has the necessary certification and is appropriately connected to the local governance structure. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
