Purpose


Update the firesafety codes and standards for educational facilities after experience in administering the rules currently in existence and after extensive and continued consultation with the Department of Education and representatives from various school boards. In addition, these rulemaking proceedings substantially rewrite Rule 69A-58.008, F.A.C., providing for codes and standards applicable to educational facilities, and also include new Rules 69A-58.0081 through 69A-58.0084, F.A.C., to provide better organization and more clarity to the rule subjects. The effect of the rule development proceedings will be to adopt changes which will result in the administration of Sections 633.01(7), 633.022, and 1013.12, F.S., relating to educational facilities, in a more efficient and economic manner.
