NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Florida Building Commission has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Raymond A. Manucy, President of RM Enterprises, Inc. on April 30, 2012. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:

The petition was granted, and in response to petitioner’s questions the answers are that statewide product approval is an optional process.

Additionally, the 2010 Florida Building Code does require higher lateral and uplift loads than the 2007 Florida Building Code.
