The bill amends the "Lead Poisoning Prevention Act" to require the department to ensure public access to a lead service line inventory and to determine the existence or absence of lead within each water connection in its service. Water suppliers are mandated to inspect properties with lead service lines or unknown service line status at the request of the homeowner or tenant, at no cost to the property owner. The bill stipulates that mitigation measures and the replacement of entire lead service lines must be consistent with the current version of the Lead and Copper Rule, including from 40 C.F.R. 141, Subpart I.

Additionally, the bill removes previous requirements for water suppliers to establish a public dashboard and publish a map of service line locations. It also eliminates specific mitigation measures that were previously included. The act will take effect upon passage.
