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

Summary

The legislation changes Maryland’s lead‑hazard law so that property owners must comply with the modified risk reduction standard as soon as they receive notice of an elevated blood‑lead level or a defect, without waiting for an environmental investigation to confirm the defect. It affects owners of housing with lead‑based paint, tenants (especially children) at risk, and public health officials. The goal is to speed up lead‑hazard remediation and protect vulnerable residents.
