AI Summary
- Alarm system contractors are exempt from including their registration or certification number in newspaper, magazine, flyer, billboard, phone book, Internet, or broadcast advertisements, provided the contractor maintains a website displaying the number and the advertisement directs consumers to that website (amending s. 489.521, F.S.)
- Contractors may begin repairing an existing, previously permitted fire alarm system before receiving the fire alarm permit from the local enforcement agency, though they must still file a Uniform Fire Alarm Permit Application (amending s. 553.7921, F.S.)
- A repaired fire alarm system is not considered compliant with applicable codes and standards until the required permit has been issued and the local enforcement agency has approved the repair
- The board must assess a fine of not less than $100 or issue a citation to any contractor who fails to include their certification or registration number when submitting an advertisement; falsely claiming certified or registered status in an advertisement is a second-degree misdemeanor
- Effective date: July 1, 2021
