This bill amends section 81-2104 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the powers of the board overseeing the State Electrical Act. The key updates include changing the reference to the National Electrical Code from the 2023 edition to the 2026 edition, specifically citing the new publication number 70-2026. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain sections of the National Electrical Code will apply, including 230.70(A)(1) and 230.70(B)(2), while removing references to sections 210.8(A) and 210.8(A)(5).

Furthermore, the bill mandates that each edition of the National Electrical Code be filed as a public record in the offices of the Secretary of State and the board while in use. The board is also empowered to adopt rules and regulations that ensure public safety and health regarding electrical wiring, as well as to enforce compliance with the National Electrical Code. The original section 81-2104 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
