National Electrical Code edition adopted by each US state

For each US state: which edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) is currently in force statewide, the name of the state code that adopts it (e.g. the 2023 Oregon Electrical Specialty Code), its effective date, whether the state amends the NEC, and whether adoption of a newer edition is underway. Answers 'which NEC edition applies in [state]', 'has [state] adopted the 2026 NEC', and 'when did the [year] NEC take effect in [state]'. This is the supersession/adoption-chain shape the portfolio has not tried. The retrieval slot is unusually open: NFPA's own enforcement map — the authoritative assembly — returns a 39-character JS shell to a plain HTTP client, so no agent can read it; page one is electrician-prep and label-vendor blogs that disagree with each other (one lists 7 states on NEC 2026 as of July 2026, another says zero as of March 2026, and one lists Oregon as adopted-2026 while Oregon's own building-codes page shows the 2023 OESC current with 2026 adoption only underway). The authority per state is the state's electrical board, building-codes agency, or administrative code — the same statute/board hosts as the built electrician-licence-progression asset, this portfolio's best-scoring publisher type. Caveat to state on the page: local jurisdictions (AHJs) may enforce a different edition; this asset records statewide adoption only.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
