An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in powers and duties of the Department of Labor and Industry, its departmental administrative and advisory boards and departmental administrative officers, further providing for Elevator Safety Board.
This bill updates the Pennsylvania Administrative Code to give the Elevator Safety Board authority to suggest changes to the 2016 American Society of Mechanical Engineers elevator safety standards before they take effect. The Department of Labor and Industry must receive these recommendations by December 31, 2024, and then publish the updated code in the Pennsylvania Bulletin by March 31, 2025. The legislation directly impacts the state's elevator safety oversight process by formalizing a timeline for reviewing and updating technical safety standards.
