TN HB2123The bill requires that any newly constructed private residence elevator in Tennessee must be registered with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development within seven days of being put into use, starting July 1, 2027. It also includes other related changes to regulations concerning private elevators. This aims to ensure safety and proper oversight of residential elevators.
Supporters of the bill argue that it enhances safety standards for private elevators in homes, ensuring that they are properly regulated and monitored. By requiring registration, the bill aims to protect residents and provide peace of mind regarding the safety of their elevators.
Critics of the bill contend that it imposes unnecessary regulations and could create additional burdens for homeowners looking to install elevators. They argue that the requirement for registration within a short timeframe may be overly stringent and could lead to complications for new homeowners.
The bill HB2123, which mandates the registration of private residence elevators, primarily affects the housing and construction sectors. Representative Jerome Moon's personal financial interests, as documented, do not show direct involvement in the elevator industry or related construction sectors. His primary business interest, Blount Excavating, Inc., is focused on excavation services, which are not directly impacted by the bill's requirements for residential elevators. Additionally, his affiliations with financial institutions such as Wells Fargo Clearing Service Inc. and other banks do not present a direct conflict with the bill's focus on elevator registration, as these institutions are not involved in the housing construction or elevator industries. Thus, the potential for personal financial gain from this legislation appears minimal.
