The bill amends section 553.73 of the Florida Statutes to prohibit local governments from adopting lookback ordinances for substantial improvements or repairs to structures that are more stringent than the Florida Building Code. Additionally, any lookback ordinances that were adopted by local governments prior to July 1, 2025, will be deemed void and unenforceable.

This legislation aims to standardize building regulations across Florida by ensuring that local ordinances do not impose stricter requirements than those established by the state’s building code. The effective date for this bill is set for July 1, 2025.
