    5         (5) Notwithstanding subsection (4), counties and
    6  municipalities may adopt by ordinance an administrative or
    7  technical amendment to the Florida Building Code relating to
    8  flood resistance in order to implement the National Flood
    9  Insurance Program or incentives. Specifically, an administrative
   10  amendment may assign the duty to enforce all or portions of
   11  flood-related code provisions to the appropriate agencies of the
   12  local government and adopt procedures for variances and
   13  exceptions from flood-related code provisions other than
   14  provisions for structures seaward of the coastal construction
   15  control line consistent with the requirements in 44 C.F.R. s.
   16  60.6. A technical amendment is authorized to the extent it is
   17  more stringent than the code. A technical amendment is not
   18  subject to the requirements of subsection (4) and may not be
   19  rendered void when the code is updated if the amendment is
   20  adopted for the purpose of participating in the Community Rating
   21  System promulgated pursuant to 42 U.S.C. s. 4022, the amendment
   22  had already been adopted by local ordinance prior to July 1,
   23  2010, or the amendment requires a design flood elevation above
   24  the base flood elevation. Any amendment adopted pursuant to this
   25  subsection shall be transmitted to the commission within 30 days
   26  after being adopted. A municipality, county, or special district
   27  may not use preliminary maps issued by the Federal Emergency
   28  Management Agency for any law, ordinance, rule, or other measure
   29  that has the effect of imposing land use changes.
