Committee approves moving elevator and amusement-device inspections to Commerce
Summary
HB2334, which transfers elevator, boiler and amusement-device inspection divisions from the Department of Labor to the Department of Commerce and Insurance, was amended to set transfer deadlines and advanced unanimously to the full committee.
The subcommittee unanimously approved HB2334, an administrative bill that relocates responsibility for elevator, boiler and amusement-device inspections from the Department of Labor to the Department of Commerce and Insurance.
Representative Butler said the move "streamlines government" and aligns related safety programs under Commerce; the amendment adopted during floor action sets a timetable for the transfer: Department of Labor must provide necessary information to Commerce by Nov. 15, a General Assembly report is due Dec. 1, and Commerce would implement the transfer July 1, 2027.
Members voiced general support and few substantive objections. The committee recorded seven yes, zero nays to send HB2334 to the full committee.
