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 the representative to be licensed in elevator repair. In instances where a state building inspector is not available, the designated representative will be permitted to conduct inspections of repaired elevators. Additionally, the bill mandates the development of an elevator inspection checklist that the representative must use during these inspections.

The primary goal of this legislation is to expedite the safe return of elevators to service for residents in multistory buildings, ensuring that they have access to these essential facilities even when state inspectors are unavailable. By allowing licensed representatives to perform these inspections, the bill seeks to streamline the process while maintaining safety standards.
