change in law for submission of courses to DBPR licensing boards. The change
was passed in House Bill 887 (now chapter 2012-72, Laws of Florida), and it
takes effect October 1, 2012. A copy of the hand-out is attached. A copy of
the meeting summary is attached. QUARTERLY WORKGROUP MEETING SUMMARY May 30, 2012 2:00

East Jefferson Street, Talla. Fla. Hosted By: Building A Safer
Florida (BASF) Subject: To solicit input
from FBC Training Providers and Accreditors relating to a recent change in
law for the submission of courses to DBPR licensing boards. The change was
passed in House Bill 887 (now chapter 2012‐72, Laws of Florida), and it
takes effect on October 1, 2012. Here are the
changes made to the law: 455.2179 Continuing
education provider and course approval; cease and desist orders.— (1) If a board, or
the department if there is no board, requires completion of continuing
education as a requirement for renewal of a license, the board, or the
department if there is no board, shall approve the providers and courses for
of the continuing education. Notwithstanding this subsection or any other
provision of law, the department may approve continuing education providers
or courses even if there is a board. If the department determines that an
application for a continuing education provider or course requires expert
review or should be denied, the department shall forward the application to
the appropriate board for review and approval or denial. The approval of
continuing education providers and courses must be for
a specified period of time, not to exceed 4 years. An approval that does not
include such a time limitation may remain in effect pursuant to the
applicable practice act or the rules adopted under the applicable practice
act. Notwithstanding this subsection or any other provision of law, only the
department may determine the contents of any documents submitted for approval
of a continuing education provider or course. Attendees Cam Fentriss

Ph.D. (Commissioner, FBC, and Chair‐FBC ED POC) Meeting Summary Cam Fentriss
welcomed everyone and asked if they had received the handout provided as an
attachment to the emailed meeting notice (see attachment). Cam stated that
DBPR, as a result of HB 887, now has the authority to review and approve
certain continuing education courses. Previously, those course reviews and
approvals could only be conducted by the appropriate licensure board. This
added authority means that DBPR will now need to develop the appropriate
processes for course review and approval. She further stated that within the
new rule language, there is a provision that states that DBPR can determine
that an “expert review” of a course or provider application is required, in
which case that course or provider application will be sent to the
appropriate licensure board for review and approval/denial. Cam stated that
because of the new provision, the boards may develop a set of guidelines for
course reviews. The Florida
Building Commission has its review (accreditation) and approval process,
which could have some similarities to what DBPR may develop. So with this
background, Cam asked the participants if they had any
input/ideas/suggestions regarding the soon to be developed course review and
approval process by DBPR? Rhonda Koning
asked if DBPR will combine the FBC process with the DBPR process, because the
CILB has talked about this before. Cam stated that she did not think that
would be a result of this change in the law, but rather to generally take
some of the pressure off of the boardsregarding course approval. Rhonda also
asked about combining all board applications into one master application that
could be used for any board. Cam suggested this question be raised with DBPR. Bob Neely stated
that he was a bit confused, asking what has changed? He stated that he would
submit a course to the FBC, and then he would separately submit that course
to the ECLB. Cam stated that the process of submitting advanced courses to
the FBC for approval, then submitting that course to DBPR would not change.
The new language in the law would apply to a host of professions, and only
apply to courses that fit specific criteria. Specifically, the new language
applies to courses that would not require technical/expert review. Cam
further stated that the law will take effect on October 1, 2012, and that
more than likely DBPR will conduct some workshop(s) to explain the new
processes in place and to solicit feedback from providers. A participant
asked if the FBC process would work for DBPR, and that it looked like these
changes would mean more fees for providers. Cam stated that the types of fees
addressed are currently charged for accreditors to review advanced courses,
which constitutes an expert review. The new changes apply to courses that
would not require expert review, so based on the change alone, there may not
be an increase in fees. Cam reiterated the fact that many courses do not
require expert review. A participant
stated that they really liked to submit courses electronically to the FBC.
Another participant stated that they have recently submitted a course to the
CILB electronically, and further said that they (CILB) are doing this with
more frequency. Cam asked how the CILB handled payment with the electronic
submissions. The participant stated that the CILB accepted both check and/or
credit card. Cam reiterated
that the current FBC accreditation process will remain intact. She further
stated that it seems to be working well, especially with providers who
produce many courses. A participant stated that she likes the FBC process. In
fact, she wished that all CE courses (not just advanced) went through the FBC
accreditation process, with all licensure boards then subsequently
“rubberstamping” those course approvals. She also stated that she would like more guidelines
for uniform review by accreditors. Cam asked for
other questions, comments, suggestions. None were given so Cam asked that if
others had suggestions, to please email those to Cam. The meeting was then
adjourned. Written comments

flrenovators@tampabay.rr.com To: BASFanswers@aol.com Sent from the
Internet (Details) Cam, thank you for
taking my call. You have always been most helpful. I will be in an education
class al day on the 30th. I am responding as a general contractor and as a
provider. We continue to add huge mandatory codes and regulation ,but no
education! 1. There is too
much information and regulation concerning the FBC to have just one hour of
advanced core. Not one contractor really understands or reads the code.
Almost all contractors don’t even know some code specifics. The contractors
gain only some code info from discussion or issues when complying with
issues. (Blind leading the blind) 2. FBC basics:
understanding occupancy codes. Most field inspectors don’t know the code. Complexities of
occupancy and fire codes should be separate education requirements. 5 types
of construction who knows that. I ask; what is type “H” occupancy 3. The
administration code is not adhered to by city building departments personnel.
We do what we want to because no one will challenge us. 4. SOME FBC needs
to be geared towards the design professional 5. FEMA flood rules
are dropped in chapter 16. Understanding basic NFIP as implemented by FEMA is
way to much for the average CBO to understand let alone inspectors. I have
been trained on NFIP and CFR44 at Emergency Management Institute and hold a
CFM designation. I attended my first FEMA
seminar in 1981. There has been so many violation its pathetic. 158
unanswered violation in St.Petersburg beach! ( I have photos and evidence) I
see failures in administrating flood codes. Name two types of flood proofing!
When we get a hurricane and the underside of homes that have been flooded and
FEMA pays. 880 million go’s to pay the interest from Katrina alone! I have
worked with FEMA on presenting the
minimum requirements of the NFIP, it takes 4 hours done by FEMA 6. Mitigation:
there is no mitigation. I am tired of the constant failures of state
programs. WWM Wind mitigation. In 2007 in Tampa mandatory gable end
reinforcement. Citizens doesn’t discount for gable end reinforcements. Wind
mitigation is too much info in chapter 16 alone. You need 4 hours to just
hear the very basics on wind. I know I have presented the information on
ASCE-7, building zones, Wind zone “C” or “B”? level of importance factors and
height of structure, tributary loads, load transfers. 7. The
presentations that I have seen and that are promoted are eclectic and week.
State grants and BOAF FREE education seminars are incomplete. I am out of
time since I don’t get paid for doing this like some people. Just a product
of my environment. You would think I would give up, but it’s my only solace
against the rhetoric ! Regards, Dean Jarvis CGR-CR-CFM-CKBR-CGP-GMR-GMB Florida Renovators,

Internet (Details) I have an
additional comment. Please consider the source. Application is everything.
All interpretations are subject to how is it applied. THE EXISTING BUILDING
CODE needs to be mandatory! 20 million in this state means that all existing
buildings must follow under these codes. How is the FBC existing code
applied? How is the existing structure documented? How much can be upgraded?
Subject to provisions in the existing code should be all up grade
requirements. Remember Citizen does give discounts for gable end
reinforcements. Regards, Dean Jarvis CGR-CR-CFM-CKBR-CGP-GMR-GMB Florida Renovators,

AIA Florida, 104 East Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida Subject: To solicit input
from FBC Training Providers and Accreditors relating to a recent change in
law for submission of courses to DBPR licensing boards. The change was passed
in House Bill 887 (now chapter 2012-72, Laws of Florida), and it takes effect
October 1, 2012. This does NOT
affect submission and processing of advanced codes courses through the FBC
Building Code Information System (BCIS). The change in law applies only to
courses submitted for licensure board approval. As FBC training
providers and accreditors who have experience submitting advanced codes
courses electronically and having these courses reviewed by
accreditors, your perspective on submission, review, and approval of
courses is valuable in considering questions and issues that are relevant to
implementation of the changes for processing courses for licensing
board approval. This discussion is an opportunity to express your
thoughts. We will compile your thoughts, suggestions, and questions and
provide these to DBPR. Please know that DBPR may schedule one or more
meetings with training providers as they get closer to implementation
of the changes. Here are the
changes made to the law: 455.2179 Continuing
education provider and course approval; cease and desist orders.— (1) If a board, or
the department if there is no board, requires completion of continuing
education as a requirement for renewal of a license, the board, or the
department if there is no board, shall approve the providers and courses for
of the continuing education. Notwithstanding this subsection or any other
provision of law, the department may approve continuing education providers
or courses even if there is a board. If the department determines that an
application for a continuing education provider or course requires expert
review or should be denied, the department shall forward the application to
the appropriate board for review and approval or denial. The approval of
continuing education providers and courses must be for a specified period of
time, not to exceed 4 years. An approval that does not include such a
time limitation may remain in effect pursuant to the applicable practice act
or the rules adopted under the applicable practice act. Notwithstanding this
subsection or any other provision of law, only the department may determine
the contents of any documents submitted for approval of a continuing
education provider or course. Some possible
topics for discussion: - Do you think the FBC accreditation system is beneficial
for course review? If yes, why and how. - Do you think the FBC accreditation system saves time in
processing course applications? - Do you think it is beneficial to submit course
applications electronically? If yes, why and how. May

General public comment Cam Fentriss stated that an issue has been brought to her
attention. Specifically, applicants can bring bound books to their respective
licensure exams to be used as an open book exam format. The most current
printed 2010 Florida Building Code was not available in time for those exams.
DBPR resolved this by testing on the earlier version of the Florida Building
Code and allowing those printed materials. This situation is likely to happen
again in the future. Commissioner Gregory stated
that this situation will always exist because of the ‘lag” caused by the
glitch cycle of code amendments. Commissioner Gonzalez agreed stating that professionals in the
field should be using the most current version of the Florida Building Code. The Chair asked Cam Fentriss to provide to him a summary of this
issue, so he may present this to the full commission at the Plenary Session
next week. Commissioner Gonzalez asked if the FBC would be finished with its
work by 1:00 pm on August 7th. Jim Richmond stated that the FBC should be
finished by 1:00 pm. on the 7th (Tuesday). |
