Landlords must provide a "Lead In Drinking Water Disclosure" statement to tenants before signing or renewing a lease, including acknowledgment of lead service lines, property construction date, recent lead action level exceedances, and health risk information

Public water systems must test drinking water for lead free of charge upon request by customers or non-paying consumers, with follow-up testing every 60 days if lead action levels are exceeded until two consecutive tests fall at or below the threshold

Property owners who receive notice of lead service lines cannot obstruct water system replacement efforts; tenants may terminate leases without penalty if landlords deny access for lead service line replacement

Department of Health must develop educational materials on lead health risks and protective measures within six months; Department of Community Affairs must create a model disclosure statement for landlords

Violations carry penalties of $100 for first offense, $500 for second, and $1,000 for third and subsequent offenses, enforced after a 15-day cure period following written notice
