The
BSC publication committee met July 20 to discuss the publication of
Title 24 Part 5 the 2004 California Electrical Code (CEC) using the 2002
National Electrical Code as the base reference. Commissioners Hill,
Brink and Sauer voted unanimously to recommend to the full BSC that the
CEC be published out of sequence without the build, plumbing and
mechanical codes. The public comments were mixed, NFPA, two unions, two
electrical contractors and two electrical inspectors spoke in favor of
an early/out of sequence publication. CALBO, CBIA, HCD, DSA and several
others requested that publication be held off until the other codes are
ready.
