Public Safety - Elevator Inspection Certificates - Searchable Database

SB 286 requires Maryland's Commissioner of Labor and Industry to create a searchable online database of active elevator inspection certificates on the state labor department's website. The database must allow the public to search by street address, city, or county, making inspection status easily accessible. This directly affects building owners (who receive certificates) and the public (who can verify elevator safety). The bill updates existing law by replacing the requirement to post physical certificates on elevators with this digital public resource, effective October 1, 2026.
