This is to inform you that the Florida Building Commission “the Commission” will hold a public workshop August 22, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. or as soon as the matter is brought before the Commission in accordance with its agenda, which may entail further consideration on subsequent days, at the Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center, 5150 Town Center Circle, Boca Raton, Florida 33486. The purpose of the workshop is to accept public input regarding the approved modifications “supplement” to the selected edition of the model codes and the Commission’s Technical Advisory Committees review and recommendations concerning additional proposed “Glitch” modifications. The combination of the selected model codes (2012 International Codes) and the approved modifications “supplement” comprise the 2013 Florida Building Code in conformity with the triennial update process specified in Section 553.73(3)(6), Florida Statutes. Local technical amendments to the 2010 Florida Building Code and continuation of previously adopted Florida-specific amendments will also be considered. The approved modifications “supplement”, the detailed reports and tracking charts delineating the committee recommendations with regard to the proposed Glitch modifications, and the Commission Glitch Review Process are available for review and download via the Commission website, www.floridabuilding.org at the following link:

The electronic detailed reports will be used at the workshop to follow Commission action on the proposed glitch code changes.
