SB 1210 Summary

• Amends Michigan's "Lead Abatement and Renovation Act" to incorporate EPA's lead-based paint renovation, repair, and painting rule (40 CFR 745) with standards at least as protective as federal requirements.

• Expands certification requirements to include renovation activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities, requiring certified renovators, firms, and compliance with specific work practice standards and clearance testing protocols.

• Establishes training and accreditation procedures for renovation courses with specified minimum hours (8 hours for renovators with 2 hours hands-on), adds dust sampling technician certification, and recognizes EPA-authorized state and tribal training programs.

• Creates the "lead information housing registry" to track residential and child-occupied facilities that have undergone lead-based paint investigations, abatement, or interim controls, with voluntary registration available for properties built after 1978.

• Increases administrative fines for violations (up to $3,000 first offense, $7,500 second, $15,000 subsequent) and criminal penalties for willful violations (up to $50,000 fine or 6 months imprisonment; $100,000 or 6 months for repeat offenses), with extended 5-year statute of limitations for citations.
