HB 23-1058

House Bill 23-1058, which has been approved and is now in effect, changes the definition of a "child-occupied facility" for lead-based paint abatement. Previously, a place was considered a child-occupied facility if children visited it twice a week for at least six hours each time. Now, under this new law, any building or part of a building where children spend three or more hours on one day is covered by the same regulations. This affects places like schools and daycare centers, ensuring that they take necessary steps to remove lead-based paint hazards if children are present for longer periods. The bill is now signed into law and active as of March 31, 2023.

Official Summary

The act reduces the total daily visit time to 3 or more hours. APPROVED by Governor March 31, 2023 EFFECTIVE March 31, 2023 (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
