Bill Summary
Requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to issue regulations regarding lead-based paint in certain federally assisted housing that was constructed prior to 1978 and in which a child younger than age six will reside. Specifically, HUD must require owners of such housing to (1) conduct, within specified time frames, risk assessment for lead-based paint hazards; (2) control the hazards; and (3) provide certain notice to residents. If a family with a child younger than age six occupies such housing in which lead-based paint hazards are identified but not controlled, HUD must allow the family to relocate on an emergency basis to another dwelling without any wait, penalty, or lapse in assistance.
AI Summary
This bill, the Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2019, amends the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act to require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to issue regulations for certain federally assisted housing built before 1978 where a child under 6 will reside. These regulations would mandate that owners conduct risk assessments for lead-based paint hazards, control any identified hazards within 30 days, and provide notice to residents. Families with a child under 6 living in such housing where hazards are found but not controlled would be allowed to relocate on an emergency basis without penalty or lapse in assistance. The bill also authorizes appropriations to carry out these amendments for fiscal years 2020 through 2024.
