For today’s episode, we have John Williamson, Operations Supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, join Structure Talk for a second podcast on electrical updates.

The show starts off with John talking about the recent adoption process for the 2020 National Electrical Code. The following topics are covered, among other things:

• How NFPA matters to the NEC?
  
• Why does the code about GFCI protection not include outdoor lights?
  
• Who are these people submitting proposals or public inputs to have the code changed?
  
• Are we making things safer or more dangerous with these code updates?
  
• How big of a deal is it buying a house that has a live knob-and-tube wiring in it?
