With this "switched" outlet, if the architect spec'd it out on the plan, then the AHJ has every right to request being installed as per the plan. Now if it is a building code and the state allows the electrical AHJ to power to quote that code, ( Or if the state adopted that code) then he can also cite that rule. Here in NJ, the state allows me to quote the NEC, plus many other code sections from the ICC, NFPA, and other codes.
Now, the state gives me that authority to make that statement, but I still have to be able to cite a code section. I also have to say which code it comes from.
