Governor Strickland has issued an executive order rescinding the enforcement of the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) and the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for ninety (90) days for buildings and structures covered by the Residential Code of Ohio (RCO).
Effectively, the 2005 NEC and 2003 IECC are now in effect for 1, 2, and 3 family dwellings only.
