DESCRIPTION
This proposal revises the procedure for conducting an inspection or risk assessment for lead hazards. The inspection or risk assessment can occur after the Department of Health, the owner of the dwelling, and an adult occupant of a dwelling which is rented or leased has received notification that an occupant of a dwelling or a child aged six years or younger who regularly visits a child occupied facility has an elevated blood lead level. Consent must be granted to enter the dwelling by the owner or the adult occupant; however, if consent is not given, the Department may petition the court for an order to enter the premises for the purpose of inspection. The court shall grant consent upon a showing that an occupant or regular visitor, including children aged six years and under, has an elevated blood lead level. Samples may be removed during the inspection for laboratory analysis to determine the presence of a lead-bearing substance.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
