Conveyance Safety Act

The act governs the safety of elevators and related conveyances, setting out which equipment falls within its scope and which is excluded, and requiring that such equipment be registered and that installation, alteration, repair, maintenance, and dismantling be performed only by licensed contractors and personnel. It establishes a licensing regime — application requirements, qualifications, fee schedules, license terms and renewal, and grounds for suspension, revocation, or civil penalty — alongside a permitting requirement for erecting, installing, or altering a conveyance and a certificate of operation that must be renewed annually. It further provides for periodic inspection and testing, authorizes the responsible agency to adopt implementing regulations, creates a dedicated fund supported by fees collected under the act, and imposes penalties for violations.
