Bill Requiring Elevator Repairs Dies in Texas Legislature

Alvarado

Texas Senate Bill 1802, which would have required Texas landlords to repair broken elevators “within a reasonable amount of time,” failed to make it through the state legislature, outlets including KHOU report. Despite having support from lawmakers in both the Senate and House, the bill, introduced by Sen. Carol Alvarado, died on the House calendar. After the bill passed overwhelmingly in the Senate, as well as in a House committee, “we just ran out of time,” Alvarado said, vowing to continue her fight to address broken elevators at Texas apartment buildings. Interim efforts will include working with the Texas Apartment Association “to see if they can come up with some kind of internal plan that holds their members accountable,” said Alvarado, who plans to reintroduce the bill during the next legislative session.
