Again, it's law only to the extent that the county (a) has adopted it, 
(b) that it's remotely current (no pun intended) and (c) there are 
permits with inspections after the install.

None of that exists here, I presume it's similar in other counties as 
well.  The only factor after that is the insurance company, which may 
choose to EXCEED the existing code(s) which directly affects the pocketbook.

However, I CHOOSE to follow the code because it's good sense.  Any 
contractor I hire is required (by me) to do the same.
