Delaware General Assembly

Passed 5/16/23

SB 9 w/ SA 1 + HA 1

5/16/23

S. McBride

This Amendment does all of the following: (1) Makes clear that the State assumes that when a child has an elevated blood lead level there is exposed lead paint in the house and is, therefore, doing an inspection rather than a risk assessment. (2) Makes clear that the owner of any multi-unit property or property that has been rented to a third party may pay the Delaware State Lead-Based Paint Program’s costs of abatement or remediation and, if the owner does so, the prohibition on rental fee increases does not apply to the owner.
