Standards covering the two primal elements bookending our daily rebirth.
NFPA 70 Article 90
Today we review a draft of an article that covers, in our view, an obvious oversight in the 2026 National Electrical Code. It is an expansion of a proposal already submitted to the National Electrical Code Technical Correlating Committee and will support challenges to its adoption into the 2029 NEC revision.

Canadian Parliament Debate on Standards Incorporated by Reference
In administrative law, incorporation by reference is a legislative drafting technique that enables federal agencies to give legal effect to materials that are already published elsewhere. It is most controversially used to incorporate privately authored voluntary consensus standards into health and safety regulations without infringing the standards developers' copyright. We find enlightened debate in Ottawa.

Servicemen’s Readjustment Act
Signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 22, 1944, this act, also known as the "G.I. Bill", provided World War II veterans with funds for college education, unemployment insurance, and housing. It put higher education within the reach of millions of veterans of WWII and later military conflicts.
Current Issues & Recent Research
