<p>This appears to need a national approach and not just a local
solution. I personally think that going through the process of CMP
as outlined by Brian has a better chance than me trying to
influence a legislator. What's in it for them? They would have no
affinity for the problem. To go to the RI State people would be a
spider's web that I just would not approach. Chris<br>

The NEC isn\u2019t law in itself. It is written by a private entity (NFPA) and adopted by municipalities and states. They can adopt whatever version they prefer. It\u2019s within the rights of any jurisdiction to adapt or amend the NEC as they see fit.
Rather than grind through the NEC process, maybe you could go to a friendly legislator or city council member and say \u201cThe RSDs are a bigger threat than what they are supposed to guard against. Delete that part.\u201d No idea whether this would be harder or not.
It might also have the salutary effect of influencing the NFPA to speed up the process of correcting mistakes.
I do get the impression sometimes that the process is \u201cHere\u2019s an experimental piece of hardware made by only one manufacturer that solves a problem that will happen less often than this hardware failing. Let\u2019s mandate that.\u201d
