The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6646, seeks to amend Title 29 of the general statutes to modify the State Building Code regarding the size of elevators in certain residential buildings. Specifically, the bill stipulates that in residential buildings that are six stories or fewer and contain fewer than twenty-five dwelling units, the required passenger elevator must be large enough to accommodate one person and one person in a wheelchair.

This change aims to allow for smaller elevator sizes in these types of residential buildings, potentially reducing construction costs and making it easier to meet building requirements for developers. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new specifications for elevator dimensions in the specified residential contexts.
