Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would update Kentucky law to allow a wider range of organizations' model codes to serve as the basis for the state's electrical construction, repair, and inspection standards. Currently, only certain entities' codes can be used as a source for these rules; this change would expand that pool of approved sources. It also makes related updates to bring several existing statutes in line with that change. Who it may affect: building contractors, electricians, building inspectors, and property owners subject to the Uniform State Building Code.
