Working notes

Adoption verified firsthand on the official DHS/Commission rules index ('675 IAC 17-1.8 | Indiana Electrical Code, 2009 Edition | NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2008 Edition | Currently in Effect - Effective: 8/26/2009'); the index page describes itself as an informal resource, not a substitute for 675 IAC. Indiana amendments are sections 3-27 of 675 IAC 17-1.8 itself (no separate amendments URL). A DRAFT rule (675 IAC 17-1.9, Indiana Electrical Code 2026 Edition) would adopt the 2023 NEC - draft only, not in effect. Licensing model left BLANK/unverified: no state electrical licensing board or electrician profession was found in official Indiana PLA/DHS sources (Indiana does state-license plumbers), and no official page stating that licensing is local was opened - the local model is widely reported by secondary sources but is not asserted here.
