The bill amends sections of the Florida Statutes to modify building permit requirements, particularly concerning backup power systems and single-family dwellings. It prohibits local governments from adopting technical amendments to the Florida Building Code that would require a building permit for backup power systems that meet specific criteria. Additionally, it establishes that local governments cannot require a building permit for work valued at less than $7,500 on single-family dwellings, although permits may still be required for certain types of work regardless of value. Contractors are mandated to maintain written records of any work performed that does not require a permit.

Furthermore, the bill creates a new section defining "backup power system" and outlines the conditions under which local enforcement agencies cannot require permits for their installation or repair. It allows for inspections to be conducted either in person or virtually and permits the use of private providers for inspections. The bill also stipulates that a failed inspection report cannot solely result in the withholding or revocation of a certificate of occupancy, ensuring that local enforcement agencies must provide a notice of correction and allow for reinspection within a specified timeframe. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
