I need a little help finding code art. on this. I have a metel building feed by a sub panel. The feeder supplys 2 load panels inside the building. One panel has a GEC looping through the ground rod clamp and landing on the metel frame of the building. The second panel has no GEC and no bonding jumper to the frame.

The 1st panel does not feed the 2nd. Feeder hits a j box and feeds both panels.

What to you all think? please include art.#'s
thanks for any help.
