Concerns accessibility in certain multistory buildings; provides for penalties.

Summary

The bill obligates owners of hotels and multi‑unit buildings with two or more floors to provide accessible routes to every floor, either by restoring elevator service within two hours of an outage or by installing alternative devices such as ramps, evacuation chairs, or stairlifts. The Division of Codes and Standards in the Department of Community Affairs will enforce the rule, handle complaints, conduct inspections, and may impose fines, while also offering a grant program and limited extensions for owners facing financial or structural hardship.
