Adopted |
| Agency: |
Department of Health, Agency of Human Services
|
| Legal Authority: |
18 V.S.A. §§ 1752, 1759, and 1760, and 3 V.S.A. § 801(b)(11) |
| Summary:
| The rule provides the requirements for work practices, licensing, and training for lead-based paint activities and renovation, repair, painting and maintenance activities to prevent the creation of lead hazards that cause lead poisoning. This rulemaking proposes the following changes: 1) Amends the information required by the Department from the owners of rental target housing to obtain RRPM firm licenses to work on their own properties. Specifically, the requirement for liability insurance has been removed. 2) Amends the activities licensed owners of rental target housing can conduct when doing RRPM activities on their own properties. 3) Amends items to be consistent with federal law, including adding a hands-on component to the training requirement for a lead-safe RRPM refresher training and adding the definition for "Dry disposable cleaning cloth." 4) Amends the training requirements for lead-based paint inspectors to be consistent with other states. 5) Amends provisions for clarity. |
| Persons Affected:
| Owners of pre-1978 rental housing, Lead-based paint inspectors. |
| Economic Impact:
| Owners of pre-1978 rental housing may see cost savings associated with the exemption from the requirement to obtain liability insurance when obtaining an RRPM licenses to work on their own properties. Because this exemption is in statute, the impact will be the same with or without this rulemaking. |
