AI Summary

This bill, the Keep Children and Families Safe from Lead Hazards Act of 2023, 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 address the identified lead hazards, prioritizing properties with children under 6. Additionally, the bill directs HUD to include lead-based paint and lead service lines as an exigent health and safety deficiency in its uniform physical condition inspections, ensuring that these issues are tracked and that property owners are held accountable for remediating them.
