Florida's 2026 legislative session did not change milestone inspection or SIRS rules. SB 1498 died in committee and HB 657 died in Senate Rules, both on 13 March 2026, and the only enacted change to s. 718.112 was a reviser's bill (ch. 2026-14) correcting cross-references. The 31 December 2026 SIRS outside date stands.
Every spring some boards hope the Legislature will push back the condo safety deadlines. In 2026 it did not.
What died
- SB 1498 (Community Associations) died in the Appropriations Committee on Agriculture, Environment, and General Government on 13 March 2026 [1].
- CS/CS/CS/CS/HB 657 (Community Associations) died in Senate Rules on 13 March 2026 [2].
What passed
Chapter 2026-14, the reviser's bill (SB 104), amended s. 718.112(2)(b) and (d) to correct cross-references left by the 2025 renumbering. It is a technical change and does not touch SIRS or milestone rules [3].
What that means for your board
The SIRS rule still reads that "in no event may the structural integrity reserve study be completed after December 31, 2026" [4]. If your association has not completed its study, the legislative route is closed for this year. See the law changes timeline and get the SIRS scheduled with your milestone inspection if one is due.

Frequently asked questions
Was there a 2026 bill adding SIRS items to the milestone law?
We saw a search snippet suggesting that, but nothing in the 2026 statute history or the bills we checked supports it. Treat it as not law.
Could a special session change the deadline?
Only a new law could. Plan on the current statute.
