The bill amends section 553.791 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to alternative plans review and inspections. Key changes include the requirement for notices of private inspection services to specify whether inspections will be conducted virtually or in person. It also allows private providers to utilize automated or software-based plans review systems for single-trade inspections, such as plumbing or electrical work. Additionally, the bill revises the affidavit requirements for private providers, mandating that they specify any automated systems used during the review process. For permits related to single-trade plans for single-family or two-family dwellings, the local building official must issue the permit or provide written notice of noncompliance within five business days, as opposed to the standard twenty days for other permits.

The bill also reenacts several sections of Florida Statutes to incorporate the amendments made to section 553.791, ensuring consistency across related laws. These include provisions related to expedited approval of residential building permits, disciplinary proceedings for registered architects, and enforcement of the Florida Building Code. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
