HB 724 (2025)

Lowers the childhood blood lead action level from 5 micrograms/deciliter to 3.5 micrograms/deciliter. This bill also mandates that municipal building permits include the EPA-RRP license number for any person engaged in renovation, repair, or painting of buildings erected prior to January 1, 1978. The bill then directs the Department of Health and Human Services to inspect the other dwelling units when one unit in a multi-unit building has a lead hazard. Lastly, this bill creates a rebuttable presumption in lawsuits that pre-1978 housing contains lead hazards.
