Bill > S4210

This bill, the Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2024, amends the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act to establish additional procedures for families with children under the age of 6 living in federally assisted housing. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring owners of federally assisted housing to conduct an initial risk assessment for lead-based paint hazards within 15 days of a family with a child under 6 moving in or renewing a lease, and to control any identified hazards within 30 days. 2. Allowing families with children under 6 to relocate on an emergency basis without penalty if lead-based paint hazards are identified in their dwelling but not properly controlled. 3. Authorizing appropriations to carry out these amendments from fiscal years 2025 through 2029. The bill aims to protect young children from the health risks associated with exposure to lead-based paint in their homes by establishing more stringent requirements for identifying and addressing such hazards in federally assisted housing.
