Section § 18670

Explanation

This law requires the department to create rules for electrical wiring and equipment in parks to ensure safety and meet the section's goals. These rules must be submitted for approval and incorporated into the California Building Standards Code. These standards apply to electrical installations in permanent buildings across the state, except in areas like cities or counties that have their own approved electrical codes and enforcement agencies.

The department shall adopt regulations regarding electrical wiring, fixtures, and equipment installed in parks that it determines are reasonably necessary for the protection of life and property and to carry out the purposes of this part. The department shall propose and submit building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 for the purposes described in this section. The building standards published in the California Building Standards Code and the other regulations adopted by the department shall apply to all electrical wiring, fixtures, and equipment installed within permanent buildings, except within a park in a city, county, or city and county that has adopted and is enforcing an electrical code with amendments adopted pursuant to Section 17958.5 and which city, county, or city and county is the enforcement agency.
