AN ACT CONCERNING THE STATE BUILDING CODE AND REQUIRED ELEVATOR SIZE.
HB 6646 modifies the state building code to require smaller elevator sizes in specific residential buildings. It applies to buildings six stories or fewer with fewer than 25 dwelling units, mandating elevators must fit one person plus one wheelchair user (instead of larger standard sizes). This change permits smaller elevator installations while maintaining accessibility for wheelchair users. The bill aims to adjust building code requirements for qualifying small residential projects.
