Vermont is still 99' , the borad reviews & revises in this month for the 02'

CA - 1996! ...sure is difficult keeping up with these forum Q&As...got to the point I was pretty comfortable with the '99 and now ya'all quoting the 2002...by the time we finally start using the '99 that AFCI issue will be resolved!

2002 NEC in West Virginia, as far as I know it was adopted in full last spring.

Have to go with CABO too as far as working clearances from service equipment to water heaters (5 ft min) and locations of smoke detectors.

The only enforcement is with Services for Allegheny Power and in the city (I use that word lightly) of Lewisburg for the area I cover.

Michigan is using the 1999 NEC with amendments as part of the Michigan Electrical Code We also use the 2000 Int'l Res. Code for 1 and 2 family dwellings.

City 2002, county 1999. Both with Georgia amendments.

ain't worth a hoot without some enforcement.......

VA is on the 1996 code for commercial, and the 93 code for residential. That is due to change soon I understand.

NY State - (as of July 1st) - '99 NEC as referenced or amended by the NY State Building Code.

PS,
psst - Joe, you didn't tell us your State

Bill: Massachusetts with amendments.

Here in Bucks County, PA, most of the local townships I work in are still using the '99 code.

Clark County (Las Vegas Area), Nevada:
1999 NEC w/ minor local ammendments.
Just as a side note, there is an addition that reads:
210-70 (a)(4)Closet. All walk-in closets or storage areas of 20 square feet (1.86 sq. m) or more in floor area shall contain a light fixture controlled by a wall switch.

Just a side note to hotline1 here in NJ. The Uniform Construction Code (UCC) make a few small amendments to the 1999 NEC. Such as taking the drilling and boring responsabilty away from the electrical inspector code and giving to the building inspector. That and bonding of footings and air terminal installations. Plus the AFCI controversy.

Washington state. I had heard we had gone over to the 2002 so I gave my brother my 1999 handbook. I was corrected [chewed out] by my supervisor for trying to go out of my way to install an outdoor outlet to meet the 2002 "in use" requirments. I guess that means we are still using the 1999. Guess I need my book back.

Central Missouri here. We still use the 1999 NEC.
