According to a recent update in Code Alerts from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the Ohio Board of Building Standards (OBBS) recently received Petition 20-01 from the Ohio Electrical Coalition, requesting the board update the edition of the National Electrical Code in the Ohio Building Code from the 2017 to 2020 edition. Before considering the petition, the board will conduct a stakeholder meeting and educational forum regarding the changes included in the 2020 NEC and their potential impact of its adoption. Ohio Electrical Coalition representatives will provide an overview of changes and respond to questions at this forum. Stakeholder comments and input will be reviewed and considered by the board’s Code committee before the board acts on Petition 20-01.
The meeting will take place on March 9, 2020 in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, and all interested stakeholders are invited to attend. To learn more about the forum and how to submit written comments or questions, read the original news brief.
