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

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s lead‑risk law so owners must comply with the modified risk reduction standard when they receive notice of an elevated blood lead level or a defect, even if an environmental investigation has not confirmed a defect. It applies to owners of housing where lead‑based paint or dust poses a risk to occupants, especially children. The change aims to speed up lead‑hazard remediation and protect public health.
