Ch. 5

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 12-801
"Elevator" § 12-801
"Elevator unit" § 12-801
"Safety Code" § 12-801

12-807. CERTIFICATE REQUIRED.

AN ELEVATOR UNIT MAY NOT BE OPERATED IN A BUILDING, STRUCTURE, OR
PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE STATE UNLESS A CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED BY THE
COMMISSIONER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first clause of former Art. 89, § 49B(a).

Former Art. 89, § 49B(b)(6), which defined "place of employment" as any
place where employees are suffered or permitted to work, is deleted as
unnecessary because it adds nothing to the common meaning of the term.

Former Art. 89, § 49B(n), which authorized the Commissioner to accept
certificates of inspection from a political subdivision or municipal
corporation, is repealed as obsolete. At present no political subdivision or
municipal corporation issues these certificates of inspection.

Defined terms: "Certificate" § 12-801
"Commissioner" § 12-801
"Elevator unit" § 12-801
