What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
