Ohio Reverts back to the 2005 NEC, but does it end there? 
Because of the cost of AFCI's and tamper resistant receptacles, an executive order was enacted to revert back to the 2005 NEC from the previously adopted 2008 edition. By my estimates, AFCI's and tamper resistance receptacle requirements in the 2008 will increase the cost of electrical contraction for a single family home by about $1000. Now that the Home Builders are becoming aware of the increase in cost of a dwelling unit, states are taking the following actions as it relates to the 2008 NEC:
(1) Not adopting the 2008 NEC
(2) Adopt the 2008 NEC, without AFCI requirements
(3) Revert back to the 2005 NEC if 2008 edition was adopted
