Re: nec
Maybe someone knows, but I would think that would be almost impossible to answer given the number of jurisdictions in the country. I know that there are rural areas that don't employ any inspectors and don't enforce any codes. In some areas the local power company is the inspection agency.
I have done a lot of work on Indian reservations in New Mexico and there were no local codes and they did not fall under the jurisdiction of the state.
Why do you ask ?

Re: nec
Most states amend the NEC, so it is impossible to answer that for every state.
According to the NEC, however, no it couldn't be.

While it may very well be adopted by municipalities in all 50 states, it is not adopted at the state level by all 50 states.

Re: nec
I thought I heard somewhere, that a couple of states do not have the same restrictions of height as the NEC for NM cable. Bob, isn't Mass one of those states?
"Could nm cable be used in a multi. use bldg. according to the nec."
The answer to this question could be yes, it would depend on what the multiuses are.

Here is a site with an interactive NEC map.

I count nine states that apparently only have "local" acceptance

I don't know about any other state, but Utah has no state amendments to the NEC.

Minnesota adopts the NEC without amendments, and we keep up to date, e.g., the 2005 NEC went into effect in July of 2005.

Re: nec
Washington does not "amend" the NEC per se. Instead, they publish a set of "Washington Administrative Codes." One of these gives additions, deletions, and other changes, and these will overrule the corresponding sections of the NEC. By contrast, the city of Seattle takes the text of the NEC in an electronic form, makes changes within that text, and adopts it as the "Seattle Electrical Code." I understand that the state of California does something similar.
