I'd go to your building department and ask them.  Each jurisdiction can
use different codes plus there are regional difference - Easto Coast is
worried about hurricanes and West Coast is concerned with earthquakes, and
the codes reflect that.

Each codes department and inspector has his/her own pet peeves as well.

You could just ask a commercial electrician to see what is needed and how
much it would cost.  Maybe one of his guys can do it on the weekend as a
side job.

You are an adult when you realize that everyone's an idiot sometimes. You
are wise when you include yourself.
