Bill > H2133

This bill, concerning elevator, escalator, and moving walk safety, aims to establish licensing requirements for individuals working on vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs), which are a type of mechanical lift used to move materials between floors. Specifically, it amends existing law to require that anyone constructing, maintaining, or repairing VRCs must hold either a specific vertical reciprocating conveyor mechanic license or a general elevator mechanic license. The bill also outlines the qualifications and examination process for obtaining these licenses, including on-the-job training hours and classroom instruction, and introduces provisions for license renewal, continuing education, and temporary licenses during emergencies.
