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 these representatives, who must be licensed elevator repair professionals, to conduct inspections of repaired elevators in situations where a state building inspector is not immediately available. Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of an elevator inspection checklist that these representatives will use during their inspections.

The intent of this legislation is to expedite the safe return of elevators to service for residents in multistory buildings, ensuring that they have timely access to these essential facilities. By allowing licensed repair professionals to perform inspections, the bill seeks to address potential delays caused by the unavailability of state inspectors, thereby improving overall safety and accessibility for residents.
