The bill amends section 373.423 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for political subdivisions regarding the inspection of stormwater management systems. It mandates that each political subdivision must conduct an annual inspection of known works under its control by June 1 each year. Additionally, the Division of Emergency Management is tasked with creating a standardized form for the inspection, which must be completed and submitted by the official conducting the inspection. The Division is also required to adopt rules to implement these new provisions, including the establishment of the standardized form.
This legislation aims to enhance the oversight and management of stormwater systems by ensuring regular inspections and standardized reporting. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025, allowing time for the necessary rules and forms to be developed and implemented.
