Official description

Amends the Elevator Safety and Regulation Act. Provides that any home rule municipality that has a population of over 80,000 but less than 100,000, based upon the most recent decennial census, shall be the sole governing authority and shall have sole jurisdiction superseding any other department or regulatory body over granting variances for the construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of any elevator or its associated equipment if the elevator was installed or permitted under the 2004 edition of ASME A17.1 but was not completed due all or in part to the financial and economic recession of 2008. Provides that the home rule municipality shall have the sole authority to determine whether an elevator qualifies under the amendatory Act. Provides that, once an elevator subject to the amendatory Act has been fully installed, the home rule municipality shall facilitate a thorough inspection of the elevator by a licensed State elevator inspector to verify that the installation of the elevator is complete and that the elevator is safe and fully functional according to the 2004 edition of ASME A17.1.
