Numbering elevators

Sen. Don Vaughan spent part of his first day as a legislator stuck in an elevator.

Part of the problem, he said, was that firefighters and maintenance workers could not figure out which elevator he was stuck in.

Hence we have S 130 filed by Vaughan, which would require: "The Commissioner of Labor shall adopt rules pursuant to Article 14A of Chapter 95 of the General Statutes (Elevator Act of North Carolina) to require, in any building or structure having more than one elevator, the posting of a distinct number in plain view in the passenger cabin of each elevator for the purpose of identification of the elevator to facilitate extrication from any elevator that malfunctions while occupied."
