PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Section 633.202(4), F.S., requires the State Fire Marshal to update, by rule, the Florida Fire Prevention Code every three years. Section 633.202(2), F.S., requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt the current editions of the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 1, the Fire Code, and the Life Safety Code®, NFPA Standard 101, by reference. The proposed amendments will update the Florida Fire Prevention Code to include the most recently adopted NFPA standards and promulgate the triennial update of the Florida Fire Prevention Code as directed by Section 633.202, F.S.

SUMMARY: These rules address the rules and codes authorized by Section 633.202, F.S. The rules are amended to adopt the most recent editions of the NFPA Standards 1 and 101, the National Fire Protection Standards adopted within the most recent editions of NFPS Standards 1 and 101, and to update NFPA Standards adopted in the rule to the most recently adopted editions. New Florida specific amendments to NFPA 1 and 101 are also adopted, while some, but not all, others carry forward from the original and subsequent rules.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The Department conducted an economic analysis of the potential impact of the proposed rule amendment and determined that there will be no adverse economic impact or regulatory increases that would require legislative ratification.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
