That review was completed in January 2008 and <br />code comments were provided to the Board at their February 26, 2008 meeting. <br /> <br />Following their review of the information and code, the Board unanimously voted to recommend adoption of the <br />2008 Edition of the National Electrical Code. Their recommendation is to adopt the code while leaving existing <br />local electrical amendments in place. No new local amendments are proposed. <br /> <br />The Board's memo and Ordinance #96-2079-L identify a minimum fourteen (14) day effective date, without a <br />typical delayed implementation period since no new local amendments were made and the State just mandated the <br />new NEC code edition as the code for the State. <br /> <br />
