"In the case of all Petitions for Declaratory Statement filed with the Florida Building Commission, which normally meets every other month, the commission requires both a First Reading and a Second Reading at different meetings, with the results that any final action thereon requires at least 74-75 days, depending on the timing of the filing in relationship to the required publication dates for the Friday Florida Administrative Weekly (Wednesday noon deadline for publication 10 days later)."  (from RPPTL Subcommittee).

The development process for the 2010 Florida Building Code is currently in the 45-day “Glitch Cycle” comment period. Glitches are alterations to the current code that were submitted earlier during the code development process and must meet certain criteria before they are accepted for consideration by the Florida Building Commission (FBC).  The FBC will consider glitches that meet the required criteria for consideration at their meetings on June 5-7, 2011 in Gainesville, Florida.
