Outdoor Lead Paint Ban (HB 456)
BILL SUMMARY:
HB 456 is the first bill in the nation to ban the use of lead paints on outdoor structures such as bridges, playground equipment, parking lots, and utility poles. This bill, which passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate in August of 2018, is vital to safeguarding public health. Not only does it enact a general ban on the use of lead paints on outdoor structure after a certain date, but it also requires the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to develop regulations to ultimately remove existing lead paint on structures.
