The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6634, aims to enhance the inspection process for repaired elevators by establishing a designated elevator inspection representative position. This bill will authorize the creation of this role, which requires individuals to be licensed elevator repairers. The designated representatives will be permitted to conduct inspections of repaired elevators in situations where a state building inspector is not immediately available. Additionally, the bill mandates the development of an elevator inspection checklist that these representatives must use during their inspections.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to ensure that residents in multistory buildings have expedited access to elevators after repairs, thereby improving safety and service efficiency. By allowing licensed repairers to perform inspections, the bill seeks to address potential delays caused by the unavailability of state inspectors, ensuring that elevators can be promptly returned to service following repairs.
