Summary
6.0035: Currently, fire safety inspector licenses are not recognized as sufficient certification to support an application for licensure as an inspector or plans examiner. The proposed amendment implements recent changes to chapter 468, F.S. which included the possession of a fire safety inspector license issued pursuant to Chapter 633, F.S. as a means to fulfill eligibility requirements established to take the examination for certification as either a building code inspector or plans examiner. 6.015: Currently, any individual who wishes to convert to active status a delinquent or inactive license as a building code administrator, inspector, or plans examiner must complete all continuing education course work that would have been required had the licensee’s status remained active. The proposed change reduces the number of continuing educations hours required to reactivate an inactive or delinquent license from 14 hours for each inactive biennium to 14 hours for the last inactive biennium before reactivation.
