The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6652, aims to enhance safety for senior citizens by mandating annual inspections and maintenance of elevators in senior housing facilities. The bill introduces new legal language that requires these facilities to file reports with the State Building Inspector detailing the status of any elevator repairs and the duration of time any elevator is inoperable.

This legislation seeks to ensure that elevators, which are crucial for the mobility and safety of senior residents, are properly maintained and operational. By implementing these requirements, the bill addresses potential safety concerns and aims to improve the overall living conditions for seniors in these facilities.
