Standard application material lifts shall comply with the rules adopted by the department that were in effect at the time the conveyance was permitted, regardless of whether the rule(s) has been repealed, unless any new rule specifically states that it applies to all conveyances regardless of when the conveyance was permitted. Copies of previous rules adopted by the department are available upon request.

If the department determines that a standard application material lift was installed without a permit and/or without an inspection, the conveyance will be required to comply with the current rules adopted by the department at time of discovery.
