The bill S. 931 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws to enhance regulations surrounding private residence elevators. Specifically, it modifies Section 41-16-30 to expand the applicability of the South Carolina Elevator Code to include single private dwelling residence elevators, which were previously exempt. Additionally, the bill introduces Section 41-16-35, which mandates that any installation, modification, or alteration of a single private dwelling residence elevator must undergo a final acceptance inspection by the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation before the elevator can be put into service.

Furthermore, the bill requires the owner of the elevator to register it with the department following the inspection and establishes a requirement for the director to maintain a database of all registered single private dwelling elevators. This legislative change aims to ensure safety and compliance for residential elevators, thereby protecting homeowners and enhancing regulatory oversight in the state. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
