BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The State of California has delayed the adoption of the California Building, Plumbing and Mechanical Codes. The State Building Standards Commission has opted to adopt only the 2004 California Electrical Code at this time. The California Code is based on the 2002 National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Agency. This Code provides minimum standards for public safety and protection against hazards that may arise for the use of electricity. There is no fee increase associated with this adoption. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 18938, the California Building Standards Commission has selected August 1, 2005 as the effective date of the 2004 California Electrical Code. Monthly meetings with contractors and interested parties regarding the changes were held in February, Marchand April 2005. The April code update meeting was advertised and the Builders' Exchange of Stockton and the Building Industry Association of the Delta were notified. There will be one additional Code update closer to the effective date of August 1, 2005.
