Title: Elevator Safety Review Board, regulation of elevators and inspection of elevators in private residences, authority to place elevators out of service, local regulation preempted, Sec. 25-13-18 am'd.
Description: Under existing law, the Elevator Safety Review Board regulates elevators. The board is administratively located within the Department of Labor.
Under existing law, platform lifts and stairway chairlifts in private residences are required to have a certificate of operation.
Existing law does not specify that an elevator which is out of compliance may be required to be placed out of service until found to be in compliance.
This bill would require any newly installed residential elevator in a private residence and any residential elevator installed in any other location to be inspected and receive a certificate of operation. The bill would authorize the owner of any private residence to have an elevator in the residence inspected. The bill would also specify that the administrator of the board may require a conveyance which is out of compliance to be placed out of service until reinspected and found to be in compliance and would specify that the state regulation of elevators and conveyances would preempt local regulation.
Subjects: Elevator Safety Review Board
