MODERATE
The bill was revised to transfer administrative oversight from the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, aligning the resilient building tax credit program with the department that handles professional licensing and building codes. This change affects which agency processes applications, adopts rules, and manages the advisory council. The revision also updates the statutory section number for the advisory council and adds requirements for the application process.
Scope change
Administrative jurisdiction shifted from the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation for all program administration, rulemaking, and advisory council functions.
REQUIREMENT

Application and rulemaking authority moved from the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

Added a third required application element: a statement by the building owner regarding the purpose of the application.

ENFORCEMENT

The Florida Resilient Building Advisory Council is now adjunct to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation instead of the Department of Environmental Protection.

TECHNICAL

Statutory section number for the advisory council changed from 403.8053 to 553.972 to reflect the new departmental affiliation.
