Remove the Electrical Requirements from the Part 5 Michigan Residential Code (MRC) and Incorporate by Reference the Part 8 Michigan Electrical Code.
 
– A single electrical code would reduce cost for the industry.
– A single electrical code will enhance uniform application of electrical safety requirements across the state for inspectors, electricians, and contractors.
– Aligns with apprenticeship training and other Code update courses, whose curriculum is based on the National Electrical Code (NEC).
– Majority of licensed electricians do not own the MRC and rely on the NEC as the benchmark for safe electrical installations.
– The State electrical examinations are based on the MEC and the National Electrical Code and not the MRC.
– The MRC is limited in scope and does not cover requirements for all residential related electrical installations (Wind, Solar, Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage, Generators, etc.)
