The bill, HB 953, addresses regulations concerning life safety and property protection related to conveyance devices in buildings. It proposes to amend Act No. 598 of the 2018 Regular Session, which mandates that owners of two-story buildings occupied by a single tenant must conduct safety tests on their conveyance devices every five years. The original effective date for this requirement was set for July 1, 2024.

The key amendment in this bill changes the effective date of the safety testing requirement from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2040, thereby extending the timeline for compliance. Additionally, the bill includes technical changes and corrections, such as updating references from "Act 598" to "Act No. 598" in specific sections. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
