This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding elevator contractors and mechanics in Arizona. It introduces new definitions, such as "Elevator Contractor" and "Elevator Mechanic," which clarify the roles and qualifications required for individuals and entities involved in the installation, servicing, and maintenance of elevators and related conveyances. The bill also modifies existing definitions, such as "Conveyance," to include specific types of elevators and lifts while excluding those regulated by the state mine inspector. Additionally, it mandates that all work related to elevators must be performed by licensed contractors and mechanics, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for noncompliance, including a prohibition against engaging in elevator-related work without a valid contractor's license. It specifies that elevator mechanics must work under the direct supervision of a licensed contractor and outlines the legal implications of performing unauthorized activities related to elevators. Overall, the bill aims to enhance regulatory oversight and safety in the elevator industry by updating definitions, clarifying responsibilities, and enforcing compliance measures.
