Summary
The legislation amends Michigan’s elevator statutes to define a “private residence vertical lift” and requires such lifts to be certified safe by a nationally recognized testing laboratory using ASME standards. It also limits the department’s ability to require a pit, machine room, or traditional hoistway if the lift meets those certification criteria. The changes affect homeowners, lift manufacturers, and installers of residential vertical lifts.
