Editing National Electrical Code (section)

==Copyright Status==
NEC, like many NFPA standards, relies on sales of its copyrighted standards to fund its development. In 2016, the group PUBLIC.RESOURCE.ORG, INC published copies of the code online free of cost, arguing that as a standard adopted as law, it should be publicly available.  The case challenges the nature of funding sources for development of the standards, which are often adopted as law, but created without taxpayer dollars.  NFPA in response has pointed to its making a free version of its standards available online, albeit in a less convenient forum than the standard that is available for purchase.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Am.
