It mostly just renumbers/reorganizes the NEC. Old time electricians will grumble because almost every code number changes.The NEC is included *by copy* in some state statutes, is it not? If so, I wonder how that will affect those.
I believe so. The actual text has long been behind a paywall, but could be accessed on some state websites. NFPA has softened the paywall to view it but you still need to jump through some registration hoops.
Typically the individual AHJ will specify a publication date of NEC as authoritative and it's often a few years behind the latest publication. Local authorities can and do make additions and changes from NEC. No Romex allowed in Chicago, for example.
