Change provisions relating to local energy codes and local electrical codes

Nebraska's LB 1227 modifies how counties, cities, and villages can adopt local energy and electrical codes. It requires local energy codes to be cost-efficient and conform to state standards, ensuring they don’t increase energy consumption beyond the Nebraska Energy Code. The bill clarifies that local codes must align with state building codes (e.g., by referencing specific 2018 International Code sections) and mandates notification if local codes modify certain sections of those standards. It also prohibits local electrical codes from differing from state standards, except for inspector certification requirements.
