States can create laws based on NFPA, but cannot say NFPA is the law because NFPA is not a legislative body. NFPA is a product for sale created by unelected people. Also adjudication of NFPA or any other code violations in never done in the US court system, its administrative, another violation of the constitutional separation of powers but that is fodder for a future thread that will be eventually locked.I am wondering this too, but after reading through NFPA and the MA statute, I think it is a law and I think this is very weird. My prior interpretation was that Tripoli makes a nice "path" for fliers like myself to follow and stay within the rules. If someone wanted to "do it themselves", I thought they could but they would then need to work it out with all the agencies to get all the various permissions. I *think* this is true for home built motors but for commercial motors I am not sure.
