1 7 available to the public and to city and county health
1 8 departments, of lead inspectors and lead abaters who have
1 9 successfully completed the training program and have been
1 10 certified by the department. A person may be certified as
1 11 both a lead inspector and a lead abater. However, a person
1 12 who is certified as both a lead inspector and as a lead abater
1 13 shall not provide both inspection and abatement services at
1 14 the same site unless a written consent or waiver, following
1 15 full disclosure by the person, is obtained from the owner or
1 16 manager of the site.
1 17 2. The department shall also establish a program for the
1 18 training of painting, demolition, and remodeling contractors
1 19 and those who provide mitigation control services for monetary
1 20 compensation. The training shall be completed on a voluntary
1 21 basis.
1 22 3. A person who owns or manages real property is not
1 23 required to obtain certification to perform mitigation control
1 24 or abatement measures of property which the person owns or
1 25 manages. However, the department shall encourage property
1 26 owners and managers to complete the training course to ensure
1 27 the use of appropriate and safe mitigation and abatement
1 28 procedures.
1 29 4. A person shall not perform lead abatement or lead
1 30 inspections for compensation unless the person has completed a
1 31 training program approved by the department and has obtained
1 32 certification. A person who violates this section is subject
1 33 to a civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars for
1 34 each offense.

2 3 1. The department may develop voluntary guidelines which
2 4 may be used to develop and administer local programs to
2 5 address the health and environmental needs of children who are
2 6 confirmed as lead poisoned.
2 7 2. The voluntary guidelines may be based upon existing
2 8 local ordinances that address the medical case management of
2 9 children's health needs and the mitigation of the
2 10 environmental factors which contributed to the lead poisoning.
2 11 3. Following development of the voluntary guidelines,
2 12 cities or counties may elect to utilize the guidelines in
2 13 developing and administering local programs through city or
2 14 county health departments on a city, county, or multicounty
2 15 basis or may request that the state develop and administer the
2 16 local program. However, cities and counties are not required
2 17 to develop and administer local programs based upon the
2 18 guidelines.
2 19 Sec. 3. ADOPTION OF RULES. The department shall adopt
2 20 rules regarding training, certification, suspension, and
2 21 revocation requirements and shall implement the training and

2 23 department shall seek federal funding and shall establish fees
2 24 in amounts sufficient to defray the costs of the training and
2 25 certification program.
2 26 Sec. 4. CONTINGENT EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act takes effect
2 27 only after the department obtains certification from the
2 28 United States environmental protection agency as an accredited
2 29 program to train and certify lead inspectors and abaters.
2 30 However, the department may establish a temporary program for
2 31 the voluntary certification of lead inspectors and lead
2 32 abaters during the period prior to obtaining certification as
2 33 an accredited program from the United States environmental
2 34 protection agency.
