Electrical code
ELECTRICAL CODE – Repeals and adds to existing law to provide for the adoption of a certain electrical code, to provide for certain modifications to the electrical code, and to prohibit local governments from requiring certain installations.

RS31568 / H0704

This legislation codifies certain exemptions to the 2023 Electrical Code, which was adopted by the Legislature last legislative session. It also prevents any city, county, or any other political subdivision from requiring the installation of an electric vehicle circuit as part of any new construction.

There is no fiscal impact to the state because the bill simply modifies the electrical code.
