Bill overview
The Get the Lead Out Act of 2019 aims to reduce lead-based hazards in housing by providing grants to states and local governments. It mandates risk assessments, inspections, and abatement of lead-based pipe hazards in federally assisted and owned housing, and requires disclosure of these hazards to potential buyers or renters. The bill also includes provisions to train and certify workers handling lead pipes, modify tax treatment of carried interest, and reduce the estate tax exemption, alongside broader efforts to combat childhood lead poisoning.
