The bill amends Chapter 42-128.1 of the General Laws, titled "Lead Hazard Mitigation," by adding a new section that establishes specific requirements for renovation projects involving buildings constructed before 1978. These projects, whether for housing, offices, or other purposes, must comply with the provisions of the lead poisoning prevention act (Chapter 24.6 of Title 23) and the hazardous substances right-to-know act (Chapter 21 of Title 28).

Key requirements include:

- Registering the renovation project with the Department of Labor and Training (DLT) prior to commencing any work.
- Engaging a lead contractor as defined in 23-24.6-4.
- Ensuring that all employees involved in the renovation have a minimum of 24 hours of lead worker training in compliance with 28-21-9.
- Having a lead work supervisor present on-site for a minimum of 40 hours per week.

The DLT is granted the authority to enforce compliance with these lead standards and the provisions of the lead poisoning prevention act and the hazardous substances right-to-know act. The enforcement powers of the attorney general and any private cause of action authorized by law are not limited by this section. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
