HB 2450 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to elevator inspection requirements in buildings with four stories or less.

HB 2450 modifies Texas elevator inspection rules for buildings with four stories or fewer, changing the required inspection frequency from annual to every five years for these smaller structures. It directly affects building owners, elevator contractors, and inspectors who must comply with updated standards under the Health and Safety Code. Key provisions include requiring $1 million general liability insurance for contractors, establishing registration rules for inspectors, and mandating specific maintenance documentation. The bill also maintains annual inspections for taller buildings and adds requirements for accident reporting and continuing education. These changes aim to streamline safety oversight while ensuring compliance for low-rise building elevators.
