In Miami dade county we require a screw stop plate agin the areas that romex (when no rigid conduit is required as is in dade co.) is used to prevent that errant long drywall screw from embedding into hot wire and causing short / fire someday.Along with that practice are fire stops(horizontal studs,stud to stud,)to prevent fire escaping to roof cavity.
