Update references to the National Electrical Code in the State Electrical Act

LB 726 updates Nebraska's State Electrical Act to reference the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) instead of the previous 2023 edition for most electrical safety standards. Specific sections (210.8(A), 210.8(A)(3), 210.8(A)(5), 230.67, 230.70(A)(1), and 230.85) will continue using the 2017 NEC edition as a temporary exception. This bill directly affects electrical contractors, master electricians, and inspectors who must comply with the referenced NEC standards for wiring installations and safety inspections. The change ensures state regulations align with the most current national electrical safety standards, excluding the specified sections that retain older requirements.
