The bill amends the Florida Building Code by adding a new provision that prohibits local governments from enacting lookback ordinances for substantial improvements or repairs to structures that are more stringent than the existing Florida Building Code. Additionally, any lookback ordinances that local governments adopted prior to July 1, 2025, will be deemed void and unenforceable.

This legislation aims to standardize building regulations across Florida, ensuring that local governments cannot impose stricter requirements than those established at the state level. The effective date for this bill is set for July 1, 2025.
