State Inspection Authority Rankings/Grade

[mkrenk]

I recall seeing somewhere, a state by state letter grade based on the presence of a stringent inspection authority, what code cycle they were following/inspecting. It might have even been on Mike's site....but I can't find it! Does anybody know what I am talking about, and could kindly provide a link to this?

Thank you!

I remember this as well but I can't find it either. I'm thinking it was produced Mike Holt and it was something along the lines of a combination of factors such as the latest code, license requirements, etc. If it still exist, I sure can't find it now.

Yep texie that's exactly what it was. Seems like it came to me in an email, like one of his newsletters. As you are saying, I also think it came from Mike Holt.

Another search of my email revealed this, I believe this is it! http://www.mikeholt.com/files/PDF/State_Rating_2007-2016.pdf

You win the prize for finding it.

NY doesn't require an EC to have a licence? That can't be right.

His table for NJ is wrong on the adopted version of the NEC. NJ adopted 2014 on 9/21/15, 4 months before the table was printed.

In NY state, each municipality/jurisdiction issues a license. Crazy stupid in my opinion, but if that's what they want...

Wow! Michigan got an A+!

No wonder I cringed at the work done while I was in Indiana (D+).

A quick glance at many of the states with bad and mediocre grades may be attributed to no statewide licensing and code adoption in those states.

Also no license required for J-man or apprentice.

The CA data is a behind as well, we finally adopted 2014 code last year.

The NFPA's Code Adoption Map is kept more current if that's all you want to know.

The map is sorta correct for MD. While the state adopts a year/version, each jurisdiction gets to decide whether to follow or independently use another. Local amendments also.

More rules and restrictions = less freedom.

More rules and restrictions = less freedom.

Unfettered freedom ends where public health and safety begin. As a matter of principle. It may be well or poorly implemented, but imperfect execution does not negate the principle.

More rules and restrictions = less freedom.

Only less freedom from the government. Rules and restrictions also provide more freedom from large unscrupulous businesses. I owe my soul to the company store and all....

And now folks we return you back to our regularly scheduled program of the adoption of the NEC and licensing in various areas/states.

Michigan did not adopt the part of the NEC that requires AFCI protection in one and two family dwellings, nor did we adopt any of Article 547, and we still got an A+ for this year.

I choose freedom over tyranny.

Really nothing in the formula to penalize for any 'amendments".

If you have not adopted the 2017 NEC you will lose points in the 2017 report, if only change to scoring includes 2017 NEC.
