I sense that the determination of the judiciary, and the resultant denial of the Supreme Court to consider the case, is being viewed by this board as an assault on the NEC. This is unquestionably not the issue. The factual issue is a great deal more wide-ranging in that the ruling simply states that a law enacted by a political subdivision must be made available free and not just “available for view”. It does not isolate the NEC but embraces any law endorsed by a governmental entity. That is the undeniable issue behind the abundant and diverse amici. My practice in the industry as an active EC concluded 10 years past but I remain involved to an extent. Could we candidly declare that a cable TV installer or a residential EC needs the entire NEC? I addressed EE classes at ASU and the NEC was forever a vigorous subject of debate with a preponderance of the attendees providing differences of opinion on interpretations.
