- Grants the state's elevator safety program the authority to develop and maintain the inspection checklist

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Security for further consideration. The next step would be for the committee to hold a public hearing and potentially amend or vote on the legislation before it can proceed to the full state legislature.
