AL HB330

Revises the definition of "lead-free" to specify no more than 0.2 percent lead in solder and flux, and no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead in pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.

Requires all city and county plumbing codes inconsistent with the revised "lead-free" definition to be amended within 12 months after October 1, 2025.

Creates Section 22-37-7 to exempt certain applications from lead-free requirements, including nonpotable service pipes, large diameter valves (two inches or larger), and specific equipment like toilets, fire hydrants, and clothes washing machines.

Makes nonsubstantive technical revisions to update code language to current style and reorganizes definitional sections.

Takes effect October 1, 2025; passed by House with 100 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstains.
