The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Elevator rule set.  
The rules are being revised to update the Michigan Elevator Rules by adopting the following national  
standards: the ASME A17.1-2016. The standards cover the design, construction, operation, inspection,  
testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevating devices.  
The adoption of national standards ensures that elevating devices are constructed, maintained, and  
inspected to the most current standards. As with all construction codes, it is essential to establish  
standards that address new technology and innovative equipment, as well as resolve problem areas that  
have been identified with the use of existing or older standards. The adoption of national standards  
further ensures that rules are developed through a consensus process by persons affected by the rules.  
By authority conferred on the director of the department of licensing and regulatory affairs by section 8 of  
1967 PA 227, MCL 408.808, section 3 of 1976 PA 333, MCL 338.2153, and Executive Reorganization  
Order Nos. 1996-2, 2003-1, 2008-4 and 2011-4, MCL 445.2001, 445.2011, 445.2025, and 445.2030.  
The proposed rules will take effect 90 days after filing with the Secretary of State. The proposed rules  
are published on the State of Michigan's website at www.michigan.gov/ARD and in the 2/1/2022 issue of  
the Michigan Register. Copies of these proposed rules may also be obtained by mail or electronic mail at  
the following email address: JohnsonA39@michigan.gov.  
Comments on these proposed rules may be made at the hearing, by mail, or by electronic mail at the  
following addresses until 2/4/2022 at 05:00PM.
