Hand-powered manlifts and electric endless belt manlifts will not be subject to the state’s elevator operating permit fee beyond the initial inspection, under a new law.

Sponsored by Rep. Al Juhnke (DFL-Willmar) and Sen. Rod Skoe (DFL-Clearbrook), the law makes several other changes to the statutes regarding the operation of elevators. It takes effect Aug. 1, 2010.

The law specifies that manlifts are subject to the initial inspection and permit fee, but no subsequent inspections. It also states that special purpose personnel elevators are subject to inspections only once every five years, and elevators in churches only once every three years. All other elevators are subject to annual inspections.
