Perce,

At the top it says "Information sheet." At the bottom it says "This
handout is a guide."
An information sheet or guide is not synonymous with "the code," in my
understanding
of English. Also, since the operative sentence refers to canceled
walls I believe the writer
also meant "concealed ceilings." If you ever get to talk to someone
I'd ask if there was
an applicable CODE that you can look at. He will probably say NEC.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, as I am far away from
Bloomington.

This whole thread originated with my question about the legality of
junction boxes in attics, based on the City of Bloomington, MN's
"Circuits and Wiring Information Sheet" for DIYers:

Page 1, right-hand column, under heading "Junction Boxes":

"Do not install junction boxes in the attic or conceal them in
walls."
