Actually the trend over the last several years has been the adoption
of the International Building Code as the state building code,
enforced statewide, in most states. See:
<http://www.iccsafe.org/government/stateadoptions.pdf>
The IBC incorporates ANSI/TIA-222 by reference, so compliance with
ANSI/TIA-222 as well as NEC is now required to obtain a building
permit in most jurisdictions.
