Overview
This bill aims to improve accessibility in multistory buildings (hotels and multiple dwelling buildings with two or more floors) for people with disabilities. It requires property owners to provide alternative access methods, like evacuation chairs or ramps, during elevator outages and to notify residents promptly. The bill also establishes a system for enforcement through inspections and penalties, with potential extensions for property owners facing financial hardship. Finally, it creates a grant program to help property owners purchase accessibility equipment.
