Relating to the inspection or removal by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation of elevators, escalators, and related equipment after a delay for or waiver of compliance.

SB 2325 amends Texas Health and Safety Code provisions governing elevator and escalator safety inspections. It requires the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to mandate inspection or removal of equipment after a delay for compliance expires or is denied (Section 754.014(f)), or after a waiver of compliance is denied (Section 754.014(i)). The bill also adds a requirement that reinspection must occur by the expiration date of any granted delay for a violation noted in an annual inspection report (Section 754.015(c-1)). This directly affects building owners and operators with elevators or escalators subject to safety compliance delays or waivers. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
