This bill amends chapter 74-565 of the Laws of Florida, specifically revising the definition of "building official" in Palm Beach County. The new 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 that the building official be a full-time employee of the municipality has been removed, and the language regarding the election district has been updated to refer to a "commission" district instead.

The bill also clarifies that the building official must be nominated from the respective commission district where the jurisdiction is located. 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.
