MODERATE
The bill was amended to add new restrictions on the Florida Building Commission and State Fire Marshal from adopting code provisions that would require or prohibit multiple energy fuel types in appliances. It also adds a new definition for 'agency' and clarifies applicability, while maintaining the original preemption of local governments from restricting energy fuel sources.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include state agencies (Florida Building Commission and State Fire Marshal) in addition to local governments, and added a new subsection defining 'agency' for purposes of the preemption.
REQUIREMENT
Added new subsection (2)(b) prohibiting the Florida Building Commission or State Fire Marshal from adopting code provisions that require or prohibit the installation of multiple energy fuel types for appliances.
Modified Section 1 to add subsection (2)(b) and renumbered subsections accordingly, changing the bill from amending subsections (1), (2), and (5) to amending subsections (1), (2), and (5) and adding subsection (6).
DEFINITION
Added new subsection (6) defining 'agency' to exclude separate legal entities created under s. 163.01 that do not provide utility services and whose membership consists only of electric utilities.
TECHNICAL
Changed the bill title and description to reflect the new provisions regarding state agencies and the definition of 'agency'.
