Tom,

NY State just adopted the 1999 NEC with amendments via the NY State Building Code (July 1, 2002) Before that we were oficially on the 1993 NEC (I believe). I have not heard any plans for adoption of the 2002 NEC.

The state of Nebraska adopted the 2002 NEC effective 23 JULY 2002 with admendments.

1) 210.12 deleted. AFCI may be used but are not required.
2) 334.10 replaced the 2002 NEC language with the 1999 NEC language from 336-4.
3) 334.12 replaced the 2002 NEC language with the 1999 NEC language from 336-5.
4) 430.102 replace the 2002 NEC language with the 1999 NEC language from 430-102

IMHO a great set of changes

My experiance has been:
Washington State inspector required AFCI protection on bedroom receptacles even though permit issued prior to 12/31/01.
City of Seattle inspectors require AFCI protection on bedroom receptacles for service change-outs.
Both the above simply look for AFCI breakers in the panel. They did not investigate further.
