Bill > S1475

This bill establishes the Lead Poisoning Prevention Trust Fund, which is administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The fund provides assistance, including grants, for the abatement of lead paint hazards in residential housing, with a focus on housing units with households with incomes up to 100% of the area median income and housing that serves as a childcare location for children under 6 years of age. The bill also requires lead abatement work to comply with industry standards, and the funds in the trust fund will not revert to the General Fund and can be used in subsequent fiscal years. The department is required to provide an annual report on the revenue and expenditures of the fund.
