    4  and insert:
    5  municipality that has 10,000 residents or more and 25 acres or
    6  more of contiguous land that the local government has designated
    7  in the local government’s comprehensive plan and future land use
    8  map as land that is agricultural or to be developed for
    9  residential purposes shall create a program to expedite the
   10  process for issuing building permits for residential
   11  subdivisions or planned communities in accordance with the
   12  Florida Building Code and this section before a final plat is
   13  recorded with the clerk of the circuit court. The expedited
   14  process must include an application for an applicant to identify
   15  the percentage of planned homes, not to exceed 50 percent of the
   16  residential subdivision or planned community, or the number of
   17  building permits that the governing body must issue for the
   18  residential subdivision or planned community. The application or
   19  the local government’s final approval may not alter or restrict
   20  the applicant from receiving the number of building permits
   21  requested, so long as the request does not exceed 50 percent of
   22  the planned homes of the residential subdivision or planned
   23  community or the number of building permits. This paragraph does
   24  not:
   25         1. Restrict the governing body from issuing more than 50
   26  percent of the building permits for the residential subdivision
   27  or planned community.
   28         2. Apply to a county subject to s. 380.0552.
   29         (b) A governing body that had a program in place before

   31  update their program to approve an applicant’s written
   32  application to issue up to 50 percent of the building permits
   33  for the residential subdivision or planned community in order to
   34  comply with this section. This paragraph does not restrict a
   35  governing body from issuing more than 50 percent of the building
   36  permits for the residential subdivision or planned community.
   37         (c) By December 31, 2027, the governing body of a county
   38  that has 75,000 residents or more and any governing body of a
   39  municipality that has 10,000 residents or more and 25 acres or
