A bill for an act relating to the national electrical code, and including effective date provisions.
This bill redefines Iowa's "national electrical code" to reference the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) instead of the standard National Electrical Code. It requires Iowa's electrical board to analyze cost impacts on average home prices before adopting future code changes, with the analysis published publicly. Sellers of single-family homes built after January 1, 2027, must inform buyers in writing if the home doesn't meet the 2024 IECC standards. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027, affecting homebuilders, sellers, and the electrical board.
