On July 1, 2024, a new section of New Hampshire’s Lead Paint Poisoning Prevention and Control law went into effect. The section of the law, RSA 130-A:5-d requires a lead-safe certificate for any newly-constructed rental units within buildings erected prior to January 1, 1978 and any newly-licensed child care facilities within buildings erected prior to January 1, 1978. To obtain a Lead-Safe Certificate, properties need to be free of lead exposure hazards, including lead-based paint that is peeling, chipping, flaking, on a friction or impact surface, such as windows or doors, or on a chewable surface, such as a windowsill. Current data on childhood lead poisoning in the Granite State will be reviewed to help participants understand why proactive regulations are needed. This session will help municipal officials understand the new law, learn how to obtain a Lead-Safe Certificate, and answer any questions.
