Bill to Delay Implementation of Lead Paint Rule Introduced in the House

House Bill HR 1577 to delay the implementation of the Lead Paint Certification rule from the Environmental Protection Agency in States until accreditation classes are held in the States for a period of at least 1 year was introduced on April 29th by Rep. Dennis Rehberg [R-MT]

This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. Committees are like "mini Congresses" The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

The bill has been assigned to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce

The best advise that the NJECPAC can provide to contractors is to get certified. You can get certified through your local Trade Association, who is either sponsoring a Certification course, or can direct you where you can take the Certification course.
