  2         An act relating to the Florida Building Code;

  3         authorizing the Florida Building Commission to

  4         amend wind-design standards in the code;

  5         expressly superseding a provision; amending s.

  9  

10  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:

11  

12         Section 1.  The Florida Building Commission may update

13  or modify the wind-design standard applicable to construction

14  in this state as adopted within the Florida Building Code in

15  accordance with the requirements of s. 553.73, Florida

16  Statutes. The Florida Building Commission is specifically

17  authorized to identify within the Florida Building Code those

18  areas of the state from the eastern border of Franklin County

19  west to the Florida-Alabama line which are subject to the

20  windborne-debris requirements of the code. The Florida

21  Building Commission's initial designation of wind lines for

22  this region shall address the results of the study required by

23  section 39 of chapter 2005-147, Laws of Florida. The initial

24  designation of those areas after July 1, 2006, is subject to

25  only the rule-adoption procedures of chapter 120, Florida

26  Statutes, notwithstanding the code-development procedures of

27  chapter 553, Florida Statutes. The rules adopted pursuant to

28  this section shall not take effect for 6 months following the

29  adoption of the rules or May 31, 2007, whichever occurs

30  sooner.  The provisions of subsection (3) of section 109 of

31  chapter 2000-141, Laws of Florida, are expressly superseded.
