2003 Senate Bill 756 / 2004 Public Act 433

Establish "lead safe housing registry"

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 2, 2003

Introduced by Sen. Bill Hardiman (R-29)

To require the owner of any property built before 1978 which is offered for rent or lease as a residence to pay a fee and register the property with the Department of Community Health on a form which identifies the property and describes any lead-based paint activity, including details on abatement activity, inspections, and test results. The bill would require the department to post on the Internet a state "lead safe housing registry," which would contain a listing of residential and multifamily dwellings and child occupied facilities that have been inspected and certified as lead free or lead safe. The bill is part of a package comprised of Senate Bills 753 to 757.
