In '99 it was purposed that the receptacles be protected starting in Jan. 2002 but in the ?02 cycle the decided to make it all outlets

Re: AFCI ceiling required
In the 2002 NEC, although the receptacle only requirement under the 99 NEC went into effect the same day.
So, on 1-1-02 if you were using the 99 NEC it was receptacle outlets, and if you addpted the 2002 on that date it was all outlets.
