2023 Code Adoption

Beginning August 1st, 2024, the Nebraska State Electrical Division will be adopting the NFPA 70 National Electric Code 2023. 

At that time all testing through PSI will switch to 2023 code, and specialty license examinations in the office will also switch to 2023 code. 

PSI candidate bulletin's for both the PSI/NASCLA exam and PSI/NE exam will update the allowed reference material allowed to include either the 2020 or 2023 NFPA 70 Codebook or Handbook versions. 

Specialty License Exams

Exams will be held in the office for those wanting to test for these specialty licenses:

Fire Alarm Installer, Sign Installer, Irrigation, and HVAC. 

Continuing Education Update

As a reminder, approved courses are valid only until the end of each licensing period. This means that when licenses are up for renewal, you will also need to apply for course renewal.

For example, if your course was approved in January 2023 – your course would be approved through December 2024. AND, if your course was approved in January 2024 – your course would also only be approved through December 2024.
