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 annual risk assessments of properties receiving tenant-based or project-based rental assistance to identify properties with the greatest risk of exposing children under 6 years old to lead-based hazards, including lead-based paint and lead service lines. HUD is then required to develop an action plan to address these lead hazards, prioritizing properties with children under 6. The bill also mandates that HUD include lead-based paint and lead service lines as exigent health and safety deficiencies in its uniform physical condition inspections, ensuring these issues are tracked and property owners are held accountable for remediation.
