House Bill 719 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 121, to enhance regulations surrounding private elevators. The bill introduces a new requirement for a final acceptance inspection to be conducted by the chief elevator inspector upon the completion of the installation, modification, or alteration of a private residence elevator. Following this inspection, homeowners are mandated to register their private residence elevators with the department using a form provided by the department. Additionally, the chief elevator inspector is tasked with developing and maintaining a database of private residence elevators.

The bill designates the existing language in Section 68-121-106 as subsection (a) and adds the new requirements as subsection (b). This legislative change aims to ensure safety and accountability in the installation and operation of private elevators in residential settings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in the implementation of these regulations.
