Change provisions relating to local energy codes and local electrical codes

Summary

The bill changes Nebraska law so counties, cities and villages can create or modify their own building, electrical and energy codes, but only if the codes generally conform to the state building code, do not conflict with the State Electrical Board’s standards, and are shown to be cost‑efficient. It requires local governments to update codes within two years of state updates, notify the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment of certain deletions, and keep the codes publicly accessible. The aim is to give localities flexibility while preserving safety, consistency and affordability.
