The modification helps clarify, and create, uniformity for referencing approved agencies. With no fiscal impact, the proposal is a beneficial code change that maintains consistency with 2018 IBC language.

The FEBC defines the term &quot;code official&quot; but it then uses both &quot;building official&quot; and &quot;code official.&quot; Both terms are used in other Florida Building Codes, but none of the codes uses both. &quot;Code official&quot; is more appropriate

The current text talks about the condition &quot;before the repair was undertaken.&quot; This means the damaged condition. What these provisions intend is to restore the condition that existed before the damage, not before the repair.
