The Building Code Advisory Board of Palm Beach County has notified us that on December 21, 1999,the
Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners adopted the same and that we should now proceed to
adopt these latest versions of the Electrical Code. As the State of Florida mandates the various construction
codes for use within all of the States Counties and Municipalities, and has also notified each County and
Municipality that the subject versions of the Electrical Codes set forth above are to be adopted, this is
simply a housekeeping matter.
