As it stands now, the committees have accepted these changes. This is our time to raise cain if we disagree- and maybe the committee will back off!
After the comment period closes, the committees will meet again, and decide what they wish to submit to the conferences for approval.
If the conference attendees agree, the provisions will become part of the new code.
I also hope that the committee members visit ECN, and can get the feedback direct.
I also agree that 'tamper-proof' receptacles are an unnecessary general requirement. The code is supposed to set 'minimum' standards...and not be used to gradually "improve" things.
