(A)     SCOPE OF PART.

PART II OF THIS SUBTITLE DOES NOT APPLY TO AN ELEVATOR UNIT THAT IS
INSTALLED IN A PRIVATELY OWNED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING.

(B)     APPLICABILITY OF OTHER PROVISIONS.

SECTIONS 5-205(J), 5-207, 5-214, 5-215, AND 5-216 AND TITLE 5, SUBTITLE 8 OF

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 89, § 49B(k) and (o).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "Part II of this subtitle" is
substituted for the former reference to "this section" to reflect the
reorganization of former § 49B as Part II of this subtitle. No substantive
change is intended.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former references to an "existing"
or "new" elevator, escalator, moving walk, or dumbwaiter are deleted as
unnecessary because this scope provision applies to any elevator unit in a
privately owned single-family residential dwelling regardless of when the
elevator unit is installed.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "[i]n addition to
provisions enumerated in subsections (f) and (j) of this section" is deleted
as unnecessary because former subsections (f) and (j) are revised in §§
12-814 and 12-805(d), respectively, of this subtitle.

Defined term: "Elevator unit" § 12-801
