Bill > S2746

This bill, the Keep Children and Families Safe from Lead Hazards Act, requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct an annual risk assessment of properties receiving tenant-based or project-based rental assistance to identify those with the greatest risk of exposing children under 6 years old to lead hazards, including lead-based paint and lead service lines. The bill also requires HUD to develop an action plan to remediate, control, and safeguard against these lead hazards, with priority given to properties with young children. Additionally, the bill mandates that HUD include lead-based paint and lead service lines in its uniform physical condition inspections, treating them as exigent health and safety deficiencies to ensure they are tracked and that property owners are held accountable for addressing these issues.
