Massachusetts:
We have 1(one) code,I and others like that. NEC with amendments,some good,some not, but.... I can travel 3 hrs either direction and know what I need to do. I like that.
Now... Licensed in several states..all with in 1 hour travel...That can be tough.
Bill,I once worked in Rochester,early 90's (unauthorized-unlicensed)Sent my Brother out for staples.. Insulated was a special order!!! Standard here, and code.
Little things like that should be accepted.
