The Elevator Safety Board’s proposed rule changes for 20 CAR pt. 881 are in accordance with Acts 737 & 746 of 2025. Act 737 repealed the Director of the Division of Labor from all statutes. The proposal removes reference throughout the rules. Act 746 added elevator testing contractors to the regulatory authority of the Board and clarified all licenses issued by the Board expire annually, originally the licenses issued by the Board were on a one- or two-year renewal cycle. The proposal incorporates these changes. The proposal also cleans up outdated or repetitive information already contained in statutes to simplify the rules. 64 The proposed rules also seek to update the code references for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The Board has adopted the ASME as the standard for elevator licenses and the proposed rules updates out of date references.
The public comment period expired on April 23, 2026, and a public hearing was held on the same day. The agency indicated that it received no public comments. Camille Fleming, an attorney with the Bureau of Legislative Research, asked the following question: 1. QUESTION. 20 CAR § 881-110(m). This subdivision states that an applicant for an elevator testing contractor’s license shall complete an application approved by the board and shall have the qualifications under subdivisions (l)(1)(A)-(C) of this section. Subsection (1) also includes a subdivision (l)(1)(D), which sets for a license fee, and was not mentioned in reference to the elevator testing contractor’s license. Do applicants for an elevator testing contractor’s license also need to pay some sort of license fee? RESPONSE: Yes the elevator testing contractors will pay the same fee as the elevator contactors as this is simply a branch of that same license. Not including the (D) in the reference to the subdivision was an oversight on our end. Thank you for catching this.
