   structure. Adds 2 members to the  Elevator  Safety  Review  Board  and      
   makes  appropriate changes. Makes changes in provisions concerning the      
   powers of the Board, compliance, and applications  and  qualifications

   pursuant to the Act shall be used for the duties and administration of      
   the Act. Deletes language requiring that the State Comptroller approve      
   the sufficiency of insurance policies required of elevator contractors

          and administrative staff to meet the provisions of the Act.          
          The preliminary cost estimate would be $528,400.
