An Act relating to the Elevator Safety Act; amending 59 O.S. 2021, Section 3023.4, which relates to enforcing the Elevator Safety Act; prohibiting retroactive application without safety exemption; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Elevator Safety Act by adding a provision that prohibits the Department of Labor from applying new rules and standards to existing structures retroactively, unless the Department provides written evidence that the structure poses obvious safety hazards. This change aims to prevent the retroactive enforcement of new safety regulations on existing elevators and other structures without a clear and documented safety justification. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
