MS Conveyance Safety Act; provide for inspections of private residence elevators.

HB 1790 requires inspections and registration for home elevators installed in private residences. It mandates that licensed inspectors conduct an acceptance inspection per ASME A17.1/CSA B44 standards after installation or modification, and owners must register the elevator with the Mississippi Insurance Department’s Conveyance Safety Act Division. This applies only to elevators in private homes (not commercial buildings), directly affecting homeowners, contractors, and the Insurance Department. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and would have taken effect July 1, 2026, if enacted.
