A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the State Electrical Act; to amend section 81-2104, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to update references to the National Electrical Code as provided; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill updates references within the State Electrical Act to the National Electrical Code, which is a set of standards for safe electrical design and installation published by the National Fire Protection Association. Specifically, it changes the adopted edition of the National Electrical Code from the 2023 version to the 2026 version, identified by publication number 70-2026, for most electrical installations. However, it retains specific requirements from the 2017 edition for certain sections related to ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI protection) and service disconnects. The bill also repeals the original section of the State Electrical Act that contained the outdated references.
