REPLACE Act
The REPLACE Act updates federal programs to better address lead hazards in housing and drinking water systems. It expands grant requirements for lead paint removal to include evaluations of water pipes and plumbing, ensuring that both paint and water risks are managed together. The bill also broadens the definition of pipes needing replacement to include certain galvanized lines and mandates coordination between water and housing remediation efforts. Additionally, the legislation provides new technical support for workforce training, data management, and local implementation capacity to help communities complete these safety projects.
