Lynwood — Ch. 18 Art. II Minimum Standards Codes § 18-118
Copies of codes
Operative Text
In addition to the copy of the 2008 National Electrical Code and the copy of the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth Edison Company that are on file in the office of the village clerk for use and examination by the public, at least one copy of the 2008 National Electrical Code and one copy of the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth Edison Company, shall be kept on file in the office of the electrical inspector for public inspection.
Section 18-118 of Lynwood's Minimum Standards Codes requires that physical copies of the 2008 National Electrical Code and Commonwealth Edison Company's rules and regulations be maintained in two separate village offices — the village clerk's office and the electrical inspector's office — so that members of the public can access and review them at either location. This dual-filing requirement ensures the reference documents underlying local electrical standards are publicly available rather than held in a single location. The provision does not regulate electrical work itself, but rather governs where the governing reference materials must be kept.
