requirements for the operation, inspection, and repair of elevators,
dumbwaiters, escalators, and moving walks were contained in former Art.

§ 49B is revised as Part II of this subtitle.

"Commissioner" § 12-801
"Elevator unit" § 12-801

(2)      ENSURE THAT THE ELEVATOR UNIT COMPLIES WITH THE

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 89, § 49B(i)(3) and (5).

In subsections (a)(2) and (b) of this section, the references to "Part II of this
subtitle" are substituted for the former inaccurate references to "this
subsection" and "this subtitle", respectively. The requirements for elevator
units are contained in Part II of this subtitle and regulations are adopted
under Part II of this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to any violations "of the
Safety Code" is substituted for the former reference to "code" violations for
specificity and to use the defined term.

Defined terms: "Elevator unit" § 12-801
