Bill > H2335

This bill aims to reduce lead poisoning in children by making several changes to existing Massachusetts laws. Specifically, it would require that criminal complaints for failure to comply with lead poisoning regulations can only be filed if there is reasonable cause to believe that the lead in the premises was the direct cause of elevated lead levels in a child under the age of 6. The bill also allows the director to waive certain lead abatement requirements if the remediation process poses a risk of lead poisoning to the children residing in the premises. Additionally, the bill requires the state's lead poisoning prevention program to include information about potential sources of lead exposure for children, such as toys, jewelry, and pottery.
