Summary
The Electricians' Examining Board set a public hearing for May 14, 2026 (9:30–10:30 a.m.) to gather comment on proposed changes to Chapter 120, Electrical Standards, including adoption of 2026 NEC amendments.
The Electricians' Examining Board announced a public hearing on Chapter 120, Electrical Standards, and proposed 2026 National Electrical Code amendments for May 14, 2026, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation in Gardiner. Holly Poirier, the board manager, reviewed the rulemaking timeline and confirmed the hearing window.
Board members emphasized that the May 14 session will be the formal opportunity for the public to submit comment on the Chapter 120 revisions and NEC 2026 adoption. "The next Board Meeting is May 14, 2026, and at that time the board will hold a Hearing for the Public to call and comment on Chapter 120, Electrical Standards and NEC 2026 amendments," Poirier said during the meeting minutes entry. The board set the hearing time at 9:30–10:30 a.m.
The hearing will collect public testimony and written comment; board staff will follow the rulemaking notice procedures outlined by the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation. The board did not provide additional detail in the minutes about specific proposed changes to Chapter 120 or the text of the NEC-related amendments. Members can be expected to accept public comment at that hearing and then deliberate on any final rule language in a subsequent meeting.
