Expands lead abatement regulations to include renovation activities and adds new certification categories for renovators and dust sampling technicians, requiring EPA-accredited training.

Modifies definitions of "abatement" to include interim control activities and temporary lead hazard reduction measures, and redefines "lead-based paint activity" to encompass investigation and abatement in target housing and child-occupied facilities.

Increases administrative fees and penalties for violations, including raising first violation fines from $2,000 to $5,000, second violations from $5,000 to $8,000, and criminal penalties from $5,000 to $15,000 for willful violations.

Establishes a "lead information housing registry" to track residential dwellings and child-occupied facilities that have undergone lead inspections, risk assessments, abatement, or interim control activities, with information available to the public.

Removes requirement for separate "certified clearance technician" certification and replaces with "dust sampling technician" category; modifies work practice standards and allows vertical containment in renovation and abatement activities.
