The bill establishes new standards for sanitary and stormwater systems in Florida counties and municipalities by creating sections 125.5695 and 166.04815 of the Florida Statutes. It mandates that all sanitary and stormwater systems, including laterals, sewer pipes, storm pipes, and manhole covers, must adhere to the state Department of Transportation's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction during installation or repair. Additionally, it requires that final inspections for these systems be conducted by a licensed engineer, general contractor, or an independent third-party inspection company, ensuring that the inspector is not the current licensed operator for the job.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the newly established standards for installation and inspection will supersede any existing local standards in both counties and municipalities. It also includes a declaration that the act serves an important state interest and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025, for the implementation of these provisions.
