Modifies definition of "lead hazard reduction" to include swab team services and clarifies it excludes renovation activities primarily intended to remodel or repair structures rather than abate lead hazards.

Increases threshold for regulated lead work from 2 square feet to 6 square feet (0.6 square meters) for interior rooms, while maintaining 20 square feet (2 square meters) for exterior surfaces.

Creates new definitions for "compensation" (including rental payments and income derived from rent) and "individual" (natural person) to clarify licensing requirements.

Establishes separate certification requirements: lead firms valid for one year at $100 fee, and renovation firms valid for two years at $100 fee; both required when performing work outside own property.

Repeals requirement for commissioner to provide lead safety information to residential building contractors licensed under section 326B.805.
