The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6652, aims to enhance the safety and functionality of elevators in senior citizen housing facilities by mandating annual inspections and maintenance. The bill seeks to amend chapter 538 of the general statutes to include a requirement for these inspections, which will ensure that elevators are properly maintained and operational for the residents who rely on them.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that reports must be filed with the State Building Inspector detailing the status of any elevator repairs and the duration of time any elevator is inoperable. This provision is intended to promote transparency and accountability in the maintenance of elevators, ultimately ensuring the safety and well-being of senior citizens living in these facilities.
