Utah — electrical code & licensing

PARTIAL - corrected by E-FIX 1 (2026-10-25) per E-QA 1. Now established firsthand: (1) THE SPLIT MECHANISM - Utah Code 15A-3-601(1), as amended by HB 313 (s.5 of the enrolled 3rd Substitute), adopts the IRC provisions as the residential electrical standards applicable to installations under the IRC; all other installations shall comply with the adopted NEC. The earlier characterization in this row ('one- and two-family dwellings remain on the 2020 NEC') appears nowhere in the enrolled text and has been removed: the dwelling side is the IRC provisions (2021 IRC route), not a named NEC edition. (2) THE EFFECTIVE DATE is 2025-07-01 - HB 313 carries a special effective date and Utah Code 15A-3-202 as amended is headed 'Effective 7/1/2025'; the NFPA enforcement map's 2025-01-01 is not supported and is no longer carried as a live discrepancy. REMAINING OPEN ITEM (why this row stays partial): the adoption/amendments URLs in this row point to the legislature's introduced-to-3rd-Substitute comparison PDF rather than the enrolled bill or the codified 15A-3-601 text, and the balance of the 15A-3-601 amendment list beyond subsection (1) has not been read firsthand in the enrolled/codified text. DOPL classes: Master Electrician, Residential Master Electrician, Journeyman Electrician, Residential Journeyman Electrician, Apprentice Electrician. Permits/inspections are local in Utah; no genuinely state-level permit fact was established, so that field is blank. FULL S.601 LIST READ (E-DATA-FOLLOWUP 2, 2026-10-25): the balance of the 15A-3-601 amendment list has now been read firsthand in the enrolled text. Basis: (i) the legislature's own comparison PDF at this row's URLs (le.utah.gov), read in full for HB 313 s.1 (15A-2-103(1)(g) adopts the 2023 NEC in place of the 2020), s.5 (15A-3-601 amended to read, list below), and s.6 (special effective date July 1, 2025); the comparison document carries the legislature's own disclaimer that automated comparisons can be inaccurate, so (ii) the three replacement sentences and one deleted-words passage its text extraction interleaved were read in the LegiScan-hosted copy of the same official 3rd Substitute PDF (republication of the official bill text; basis disclosed) - everywhere the two overlap, they agree. The codified xcode section page (le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter3/15A-3-S601.html) renders only its header through this lane's text route (script-driven body) and the current-version codified PDF did not surface (only the superseded 2023 version's PDF did); the enrolled-text read is the basis, and a codified-page read remains a mechanical follow-up, not an open content question. THE FULL S.601 LIST (intro: 'The following are adopted as amendments to the NEC to be applicable statewide'): (1) the IRC/NEC split above; (2) 210.8(A) 'through 250-volt' deleted; (3) 210.8(A)(5) 'Basements' replaced with 'Unfinished portions or areas of the basement not intended as habitable rooms'; (4) 210.8(A)(6) kitchen GFCI limited to receptacles installed to serve the countertop surfaces; (5) 210.8(A)(7) deleted; (6) 210.8(D)(8)-(12) deleted; (7) 210.8(F) deleted; (8) 210.52(C)(2)/(3) replaced (island/peninsular outlets optional if installed, with provisions required for future addition; location rules incl. an accessible-design exception); (9) 210.12 deleted (AFCI); (10) 210.65 deleted; (11) 215.18 deleted; (12) 225.42 deleted; (13) 230.67 deleted; (14) 230.71 replaced with a six-disconnect rule (230.71(B) single-pole units sunset July 1, 2027); (15) 314.27(C) replaced (ceiling-fan outlet boxes, 70 lb max, marking above 35 lb); (16) 334.24 last sentence replaced (flat-cable bending radius by minor diameter on the flat side); (17) 334.80 second paragraph deleted; (18) 338.24 last sentence replaced (same flat-cable sentence); (19) 406.9(B)(2) the words 'be listed weather-resistant type, and installation shall' deleted; (20) 700.3(A) replaced ('Conductor Witness Test' - the AHJ shall conduct or witness a test of the complete system upon installation and periodically afterward). The pre-2025 item for 406.9(C) appears as struck text and is not carried forward. The remaining open item stated above is therefore closed; status is now verified. Permits/inspections remain local (no state-level fact established; that field stays blank).

Coded to schema v2 Option B at the 2026-10-27 wiring pass from the v1 row verbatim; migration settles no open facts. | 2026-10-27: date flipped from preserved-conflict to exact 2025-07-01 under Danny's ruling (enrolled-bill read basis).
