Environment - Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing - Modified Risk Reduction Standard

HB 1547 modifies Maryland's lead risk reduction requirements for property owners in housing. It requires owners to complete specific lead hazard reduction measures - such as inspecting paint, repairing peeling paint, covering lead-based paint on windows, and cleaning after repairs - within 30 days of receiving written notice about a person at risk (e.g., a child with elevated blood lead levels) or a reported defect. The bill updates the timeline for compliance, adjusting the conditions under which the "modified risk reduction standard" must be met based on the date of blood lead testing or defect notification. This affects owners of housing properties where lead hazards are present and a person at risk is identified.
