Senate Bill No. 310 Summary

• Repeals and replaces eleven sections of Missouri law relating to lead licensing and hazard abatement, modifying definitions and regulatory requirements for lead-bearing substance activities and renovation work.

• Reduces advance notification requirement for lead abatement projects from ten business days to five business days, and requires licensed firms to provide occupant protection plans to dwelling occupants.

• Adds new definitions including "renovation," "renovator," "renovation firm," "dust sampling technician," "minor repair and maintenance activities," and "emergency," while removing the separate definition of "deleading."

• Expands licensing requirements to include renovators and renovation firms performing work in target housing or child-occupied facilities constructed before 1978, and requires Environmental Protection Agency-certified renovators to complete refresher courses.

• Establishes penalties for violations as class A misdemeanors for most violations and class D felonies for performing licensed activities while licenses are suspended or revoked, with specific fine amounts for notification failures.
