STAFF COMMENTS

Mr. Coss brought the amendment to Florida Statute 489.117 to the Board's attention. He indicated that other jurisdictions soon will no longer be sponsoring exams for local specialty licenses. Since the City does not sponsor exams, there would no longer be license reciprocity for certain specialties. He said that the City of Port St. Lucie may be requiring permits be obtained by licensed, General Contractors, and the City of Fort Pierce may follow suit. The State may be considering "grandfathering" certain specialty licenses for those who have been in the trade for numerous years, such as shutters, aluminum, and concrete trades; and looking into State Specialty licenses. Mr. Coss added that if this is the case, the number of cases coming before the Board next year will be diminished.
