What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law contains a number of provisions related to preventing and

minimizing lead poisoning and lead exposure, including provisions prohibiting the

sale and use of lead paint and requiring screenings for lead exposure for certain

programs and institutions. Current law provides that any person who violates these

provisions or rules promulgated, or orders issued, under these provisions is subject

to a civil forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 and provides that each

day of continued violation constitutes a separate offense. This bill increases the

maximum amount of the civil forfeiture for such a violation from $1,000 to $5,000.
