Hey e57, thanx 4 the right to the heart answers to questions many of us have. I live in southern Illinois and have been following California's creeping up deadline that seems that is going almost unnoticed. I called them wondering about the same concerns. At our last IEC meeting, it was stated that the state of Illinois is expected to hopefully pass the "Illinois Electricians Act" in fall session. The draft has been re-written to accommodate those who had issues with the way it was drafted last year when it died. From what we have heard, it is expected to pass. Thanx for the great info. It is definately time that we who have put so much in learning to do it "right", to be amply and I mean amply compensated!
