The 2011 NEC was adopted on 6/16/2011 with an effective date of
August 26, 2011. No amendments.
The 2011 NEC was adopted April 21, 2011 by a unamious vote of
the North Carolina Building Code Council after much delay by the
Chairmen of the Building Code Council, Dan Tingen, and the
home builders group. Implementation was set for September 1,
2011, however 11 letters of protest were filed by June 21, 2011
and now the matter has to go to the NC legislature with the closest
implementation now being in 2012 as the NC legislature will next
meet in 2012. However, an appeal has been made to the
Governor by the State Electrical Contractors Licensing Board.

NEC on June 20, 2011 for all except 1 &2 family dwellings.. State
has already adopted the 2009 IRC with electrical chapters 33-42
being applicable for dwellings.
Oregon developed its own "Low-Rise Residential Code" to cover
all dwellings up to 3 stories, including electrical. The electrical
requirements are based on NFPA 70A and have been harmonized
to the 2011 Edition of NFPA 70. The Electrical & Elevator Board
adopts the code by rule.

New Plan for the 2011 NEC and 2012 I-Codes. South Carolina
will start the review of the 2011 NEC and the 2012 ICC Codes in
the fall of 2011 as soon as the ICC Codes are available and will
adopt them as a single package including the IRC with its
electrical provisions.
Note: The SC Building Code Council had approved the 2009 ICC
Codes but the legislative LCI Committee threw the 2009 ICC
codes out and with them nearly 3 years worth of work.
The 2011 NEC was adopted and became effective on July 1,
2011 with several minor amendments. However, the AFCI & GFCI
amendments that were in place for the 2008 NEC adoption have
been deleted for the 2011 NEC.
No real activity has occurred as yet on 2011 NEC adoption. The
main reasons for this was the dismissal of Jim Pillow, Deputy
Director of Commerce, and the hiring of his successor Gary West;
and the firing of the state field inspection head supervisor Marcus
Pipkin , and the hiring of his successor Gary Farley, a former Fire
Inspector from Murfreesboro, TN. There is some talk of a latesummer or early-fall 2011 push for the 2011 NEC with adoption by
1/1/12.
The Texas State Electrical Advisory Board met June 30, 2011 to
discuss the adoption of the 2011 NEC without amendment. There
were no objections so the adoption will move to the Texas
Department of Licessing and Regulation Commission for an
official vote to become effective September 1, 2011 for all Texas
territory outside a an incorporated municipality.

Codes are adopted by the Utah
legislature, with the Building
Code Commission holding
hearings and making
recommendations. This is a
change instituted only as of
1/1/2010. Prior to this date, the
Commission had authority to
adopt and implement codes.
6/1/11
While adoption without amendment of the most recent edition of
the National Electrical Code benefits all construction in the state
because of consistent requirements, there is a point of confusion
for dwellings. The State has also adopted the 2006 International
Residential Code (IRC) in its entirety, including the electrical
chapters. With the 2006 IRC containing the residential
requirements from the 2005 NEC, there is inconsistency in
technical requirements, as it has been determined that the
electrical provisions of the IRC apply to buildings covered under
that code. Therefor, a jurisdiction will enforce the 2008 NEC for
apartments, condominium, and other multi-family dwellings, but
revert to the 2005 NEC provisions found in the 2006 IRC for onefamily and two-family dwellings.
THe Building COdes Division will begin reviewing the 2011 NEC
and 2009 "I" Codes for adiption in 2012.

5/23/11
2008 NEC is included in the adoption of the Virginia Uniform
Building Code, which is basically a book with amendments to
referenced ICC Codes and the National Electrical Code. The code
adoption is shown only as NFPA 70 in Chapter 27 of the Vigginia
UBC, with the NEC edition shown in the front of the book under
administrative. No adoption of the 2011 NEC should be expected
for at least 2 more years.
Began enforcement of the 2008 NEC on December 31, 2008.
Additionally - On July 1, 2010, the 2009 Editions of the
International Building Code, International Residential Code,
International Fire Code, International Mechanical Code, Uniform
Plumbing Code became effective, along with the 2009 Washington
State Energy Code on January 1, 2011. The electrical code is
controlled by the State Department of Labor and
Industries/Electrical Section, which adopted the 2008 Edition of the
National Electrical Code in the fall of 2008, with local amendments.
AFCI is enforced only in bedrooms and not on smoke alarm
circuits.
Adoption of the 2011 NEC was underway in late 2011, but was
suspended until at least mid-2012 because of an Executive Order
from the GOvernor suspending all non-critical rulemaking through
2011.
