Course Description:

This is a course intended to satisfy the one-hour continuing education requirement on Florida Laws and Rules established by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers (FBPE), and as required by Section 471.017 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.), pursuant to Rule 61G15-22.0105 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).

This course is not intended to be a comprehensive review covering significant details of all Florida Laws and Rules governing the practice of engineering. It is understood that readers of this course will already have their Professional Engineer License and, as such, have already passed the original requirements assessing them on FL Laws and Rules required to have a basic understanding. Instead, this course is tailored towards the renewal requirements enforced by the FBPE and focuses on some of the primary updates and changes to Rules adopted by the Board during the 2023–2025 biennium. More specific examples for particular Rules will be reviewed to look at ways the modifications may be applicable to the reader. Note that licensees are responsible for maintaining familiarity with all applicable statutes and rules applicable to their license.

Learning Objectives:

The goal of this specific course is that every reviewer of this document learn some information they did not know previously. The writing of the course was organized with that intent in mind. The approach to achieve this goal is to provide three levels of information:

Refresh some foundational concepts related to Florida laws and rules governing engineering practice that can be forgotten over time.
Look at a summary of some pertinent Rules that have been modified during the 2023-2025 Biennium.
Perform a more detailed evaluation of four specific rule modifications, including discussion of practical implications and application, followed by summary of real-world examples of violations to these rules both from published disciplinary actions on the FBPE website and from hypothetical situations including common engineering situations.

This course includes wording directly from the Florida Administrative Code Chapter 61G15. This course features the entire chapter. Highlighted text shows updated portions of the rules. Text crossed out shows text removed in the updates. Other updates and commentary from the Board Rules Committee Minutes will be included as well.

Course Description:

Credit Hours: 2

Approval Number: 1179.0

This 2-hour Florida Building Code 8th Edition Advanced Course discusses many highlights and changes from the previous Florida Building Code 7th Edition. While completing this course, it is especially important to note that the Florida Building Code 7th Edition was based on the 2018 International Building Code, while the Florida Building Code 8th Edition is based on the 2021 International Building Code. The Florida Building Code 8th Edition is scheduled to replace the Florida Building Code 7th Edition on 12/31/2023.

This course is designed to cover some of the significant changes from the 7th Edition to the 8th Edition of the Code. However, this course does not cover every change between the codes. Building professionals will have their own areas of expertise, making it essential that every architect, engineer, and contractor carefully study the code sections that most affect and pertain to their professional practice.
