In the Conveyance Safety Act, the bill updates various technical standards for elevator and conveyance inspections, modifies licensing requirements for elevator mechanics and contractors, and streamlines administrative procedures. The bill also makes numerous technical corrections and removes some obsolete provisions across these legislative areas, with changes aimed at improving administrative efficiency, clarifying definitions, and providing additional debt collection mechanisms for state agencies.
