The bill would amend Public Act 227 of 1967, which regulates the inspection, construction, installation, and maintenance of elevators, to do both of the following:
-- Specify that the construction standards that apply to a private residential incline elevator would apply to an incline elevator for the exclusive use of members of a homeowners association and their guests in gaining access to the shoreline of a Great Lake or connecting waterway.
-- Require a homeowners association to maintain at least $1.0 million of insurance coverage against liability arising from construction or use of an incline elevator constructed according to the standards that apply to a private residential incline elevator.
