The NEC, as adopted by the State of NJ as the 'Electrical Sub-Code' is a part of the State Uniform Construction Code (UCC; 5:23 et al)
The enforcement and compliance items are 'as written' within the UCC (Blue Book)
This "Electrical Sub-Code" must be complied with by anyone performing 'Electrical Work' as defined within 5:23. EC's, homeowners, phone/data; alarm, etc.
It's a lot of details, all written in legaleese, but I think my synopsis above condenses it into a brief paragraph.
