  1  1    Section 1.  Section 89A.2, Code 2005, is amended to read as
  1  2 follows:
  1  3    89A.2  SCOPE OF CHAPTER.
  1  4    The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any
  1  5 facility installed in any single private dwelling residence,
  1  6 to facilities subject to regulation under Iowa Administrative
  1  7 Code administrative code, chapter 26 of the rules of the
  1  8 division of labor services (regulation 29 C.F.R. } 1926.552),
  1  9 to lifts subject to regulation under chapter 88 or to
  1 10 facilities over which an agency of the federal government is
  1 11 asserting similar enforcement jurisdiction.  Provisions of
  1 12 this chapter supersede similar conflicting provisions
  1 13 contained in building codes of this state or any subdivision
  1 14 thereof.
  1 15                           EXPLANATION
  1 16    Code chapter 89A contains regulations for elevators.  An
  1 17 elevator safety board within the division of labor services in
  1 18 the department of workforce development oversees the
  1 19 installation, repair, maintenance, alteration, use, and
  1 20 operation of elevators and other facilities in the state.
  1 21 Currently, a provision of the elevator chapter supersedes a
  1 22 similar provision contained in state or local building codes.
  1 23 This bill provides that a provision of the elevator chapter
  1 24 supersedes a conflicting provision contained in the building
  1 25 codes.
