Actually, this particular ammendment annoys me, for the reason that "Out of Town" electricians could be confused by the Purple High-leg color. So I personally, think it is dangerous to contradict the rest of the country on high-leg marking.
One benifit is that I don't have to worry about a can of PVC glue opening in my truck. As I rarely use it.
Truthfully, I don't know where they get off making thier own code up, I am however glad they enforce them, and our Inspectors are for the most part extremely well versed. Nor do I know how they justify it to the State, but they have been sue several times about some of these codes, and won. Some they lost.... They are all easily available though...

Because of some of the other wacko's that could have been elected in his place were really off the wall. Imagine manditory composting, and organic sewage treatment plants, and then Lee's Feng Shui ideas dont seem all that bad....
To me, Title-24 seems a bit Feng Shui inspired....
