GET THE LEAD OUT Act of 2026
The GET THE LEAD OUT Act of 2026 establishes a comprehensive national strategy to eliminate lead-based pipe hazards in housing by providing federal grants to states and local governments for evaluating and removing lead pipes in affordable homes. This legislation mandates risk assessments and inspections for federally assisted housing, requires disclosure of lead pipe conditions during property sales, and creates a task force to develop financing standards and training for certified contractors. Additionally, the bill authorizes significant funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Environmental Protection Agency to support these abatement efforts and public education campaigns.
