AN ACT CONCERNING ELEVATOR REPAIRS IN MULTISTORY HOUSING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS.

SB 1335 requires elevators in multistory buildings housing seniors (65+ years old) to undergo thorough inspections at least every 18 months by either a state elevator inspector or a nationally certified "qualified elevator inspector." This directly affects senior housing buildings, building owners, and elevator inspection professionals. The bill adds a new inspection requirement specifically for these properties, allowing certified inspectors to submit reports to the State Building Inspector. It does not change repair costs or funding but mandates more frequent safety checks for elevators serving older residents.
