Bill overview
The Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2024 amends the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act to strengthen protections for young children in housing. Specifically, it requires risk assessments for covered housing (including those receiving mortgage insurance or housing assistance) when a family with a child under 6 years old will reside or is expected to reside. The bill mandates regulations for these assessments, requiring owners to control lead hazards within 30 days and provide notice to residents. It also establishes procedures for relocation assistance if lead hazards are present but not addressed, prioritizing families with young children.
