The 2020 National Electric Code has many revisions that might shock you. Here are just 3 items that will boggle your brain (and add costs to a new home).
This is an example of the NEC gone mad. An appliance with a correctly wired cord is solidly grounded and in no way could cause an electrocution. I do agree that manufactures should do a better job of defining how the current 4 wire cords and the old 3 wire cords should be connected to the machine. Mike Holt has a beef with the manufactures over this and is willing to cost the nation millions in GFCI Breakers. The states need to react to this by continuing to use older code book and flat out refuse to go along with this nanny NEC stuff. I would also say that if you remove the cover of an appliance or electric panel, you should know what your doing, the NEC does not need to protect "stupid"! If anyone has a report of someone killed or injured by their clothes dryer of stove I would like to know about it.
The requirement for this unit to be GFCI protected has been removed from the 2023 NEC, and most states amended it out of the 2020 edition. (It doesn’t work!)

On May 18th the TDLR voted to a pause the adoption of the air conditioning requirement.
See my update I posted last week.
