PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – July 5, 2018 – The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a public hearing Tuesday, July 17, 2018, to consider and receive comments regarding the adoption of the 2017 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) with amendments.
Implementation of the NEC promotes the health, safety and welfare of citizens by providing standards for the protection of consumers and electricians. Amendments to the NEC allow Calvert County Government to customize certain provisions of the national standards to address circumstances specific to Calvert County. After thorough review and discussion by the Calvert County Board of Electrical Examiners, it is recommended the BOCC adopt the NEC in its entirety along with special provisions.
The hearing will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Commissioners’ Hearing Room in the Calvert County Circuit Courthouse, located at 175 Main St. in Prince Frederick. Citizens are encouraged to view the resolution online.
