AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act to require newly constructed apartment buildings or condominiums that are at least two stories above grade to have no less than two elevators within one year of the effective date of the regulations. The bill also requires the owner to ensure that at least one elevator is operational, unless the circumstances causing the elevators to stop operation were out of the owner's control. The bill defines "apartment building" and "condominium" and applies the new requirements to newly constructed buildings on or after the effective date of the regulations.
