It also engages in rulemaking to implement the provisions set forth in its statutes, according to the Florida Department of Professional and Business Regulation.

"I hope this new role will give me the opportunity to help make the entire building process more efficient, and I look forward to meeting people in the industry from throughout the state," Holmes said.

 

The appointments are subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.
