What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an exemption from lead inspection requirements for lead

sampling or testing done in certain renovations. Current law requires the

Department of Health Services (DHS) to develop and implement a comprehensive

statewide lead poisoning or lead exposure prevention and treatment program that

includes lead investigation requirements and lead hazard reduction requirements.

If the presence of lead-bearing paint or a lead hazard is assumed and lead hazard

reduction activities are performed in a lead-safe manner, then sampling or testing

of dwellings or premises for the presence of lead-bearing paint or a lead hazard is

not required under current law. DHS has promulgated rules regarding lead

inspections to test for the presence of lead-based paint and regarding renovation

activities on certain dwellings constructed before 1978 and certain buildings

constructed before 1978 that are occupied by children. Under the bill, if the presence

of lead-bearing paint of a lead hazard is assumed and a renovation of a dwelling, unit

of a dwelling, or premises is performed in a lead-safe manner, any person who

performs sampling or testing of a surface in the dwelling or premises relating to that

renovation is not required to comply with any requirements established by DHS for

a lead inspection.
