The bill amends the "Lead Poisoning Prevention Act" to allow municipalities to enact ordinances that enable municipalities and water suppliers to enter properties to perform lead service line replacements. This is permitted when the property owner is eligible for a free service line replacement and has been provided with written notice at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to entry, except in emergencies 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 will take effect upon passage.
