Relating to the electronic submission of inspection reports and filing fees for the inspection of elevators, escalators, and related equipment.

HB 3848 allows elevator, escalator, and related equipment inspection companies to submit inspection reports and fees electronically to the Texas Department of Health and Safety. The bill amends state law to include electronic submission as a valid filing method, alongside traditional options like mail or in-person delivery. It specifies that electronic submissions are considered filed on the date they are transmitted through the department's designated system, simplifying the process for businesses. This change, effective September 1, 2025, directly affects inspection service providers required to file these reports and fees with the state.
