A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4551 AS INTRODUCED 3-23-05

The bill would amend the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act to specify that the act does not prohibit the sharing of an elevator between two buildings as long as the buildings are otherwise in compliance with the act and the state construction code, and are also in compliance with state acts or rules regulating elevators in buildings.  Such acts include the Fire Prevention Code; Public Act 333 of 1976, which addresses the licensing of elevator journeymen; and Public Act 227 of 1967, which deals with the elevator safety board.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The bill would have no fiscal impact on state or local government.
