Bill overview
This bill requires financial institutions in New Jersey to remove lead water service lines from properties they have foreclosed upon. It specifically addresses situations where the institution is aware of lead pipes and ensures they are replaced unless the utility company owns and is responsible for the lines. The goal is to reduce lead exposure, particularly for children, by preventing ongoing contamination from privately owned lead pipes. This legislation supplements existing laws related to lead service lines.
