This is the Florida code, based on the ICC residential codes

R311.4 Doors.

R311.4.1 Exit door required. Not less than one exit door conforming
to this section shall be provided for each dwelling unit. The required
exit door shall provide for direct access from the habitable portions
of the dwelling to the exterior without requiring travel through a
garage. Access to habitable levels not having an exit in accordance
with this section shall be by a ramp in accordance with Section R311.6
or a stairway in accordance with Section R311.5.

R311.4.2 Door type and size. The required exit door shall be a
side-hinged door not less than 3 feet (914 mm) in width and 6 feet 8
inches (2032 mm) in height. Other doors shall not be required to
comply with these minimum dimensions.

R311.4.3 Landings at doors. There shall be a floor or landing on
each side of each exterior door.

Exception: Where a stairway of two or fewer risers is located on
the exterior side of a door, a landing is not required for the
exterior side of the door.

The floor or landing at exterior doors required by Section
R311.4.1 shall not be required to comply with this requirement but
shall have a rise no greater than that permitted in Section R311.5.3.

The width of each landing shall not be less than the door served.
Every landing shall have a minimum dimension of 36 inches (914 mm)
measured in the direction of travel.

R311.4.4 Type of lock or latch. All egress doors shall be readily
openable from the side from which egress is to be made without the use
of a key or special knowledge or effort.

What's Flatulent Jim babbling about?
I don't see anything that says the door must open outward.
