Pleasant Grove's own Building Division page still lists '2020 National Electrical Code (NEC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16) — a PRE-EXISTING discrepancy that predates and is unrelated to the 2026-07-01 code-cycle flip, of the same kind separately documented for American Fork's Solar checklist and Provo's Building FAQ.
