In Sw Fla the GEC is connected in the meter socket as often as it gets to the service disconnect. The grounded conductor is bonded to the meter can, beyond our control and if you also bond in the service disconnect the standard rule around here is there can be no parallel metal paths between the meter base and the service disconnect.

Section 250.28 requires a main bonding jumper to be installed. Article 100 defines the main bonding jumper as the connection between the grounded conductor and the equipment grounding conductor at the service.
This tells us that this connection must be made in service equipment only, and this is usually accomplished in the main service panel or main service disconnect enclosure.

So in the case where there is a metal raceway riser and a nonmetallic nipple between the metersocket and the panel to prevent objectionable current, it is an illegal installation because the equpiment grounding conductor(riser) is connected to the grounded conductor ahead of the service disconnect?
