The bill amends the "Lead Poisoning Prevention Act" to allow municipalities to enact ordinances that permit municipalities and water suppliers to enter properties to perform lead service line replacements if the property owner is eligible for a free service line replacement. The municipality must provide written notice to the property owner and any residents at least seventy-two (72) hours before entering the property, unless there is an emergency as determined by the department of health. The bill also allows tenants to request and schedule private side lead service line replacements with their local water supplier if a water service line in a rental property is found to contain lead, the property owner is eligible for a free service line replacement, and the property owner is unresponsive to a request for service line replacement. The act takes effect upon passage.
