The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6652, aims to amend chapter 538 of the general statutes to mandate annual inspections and maintenance of elevators specifically at senior citizen housing facilities. This legislation requires that reports be filed with the State Building Inspector detailing the status of any elevator repairs and the duration of time any elevator is inoperable.

The intent of this bill is to enhance the safety and accessibility of elevators in senior housing, ensuring that they are properly maintained and operational for the residents who rely on them. By instituting these requirements, the bill seeks to promote the well-being of senior citizens and prevent potential hazards associated with elevator malfunctions.
