New Lead Paint Law:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established a new Renovation, Repair and Painting lead law that goes into effect April 22, 2010.

The new law requires contractors, property managers and others paid to replace windows or renovate residential houses, apartments and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 to be certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This new law is intended to protect children from leaded dust that may result from disturbing lead-based paint.
