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 by changing the effective date for certain requirements from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2040. This act mandates that owners of buildings with two stories, occupied by a single tenant with employees regularly present, must conduct safety tests on the building's conveyance devices at least every five years.

Additionally, the bill includes technical amendments to ensure clarity and accuracy in the language of the law. Specifically, it corrects references to "Act 598" to "Act No. 598" in two instances within the Senate Committee Amendments. The proposed changes are set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
