The Lead Paint Bill
More money for landlords to fix lead paint in homes
To further lead remediation in rental housing by increasing the deleading credit
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give landlords more tax money to remove lead paint, making rental homes safer for families and kids.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill wants to help landlords pay for removing dangerous lead paint from rental homes. Lead paint can make kids very sick, so making homes safer is important. If this bill passes, landlords might be more likely to fix up old homes, which would be good for families looking for safe places to live. But it also means the state would collect less tax money. Now is the time to tell lawmakers if you think this is a good way to make homes safer.
