Proposed Lead Paint Rule Could Have Major Impact
|
The Minnesota Department of Health unveiled its proposed rule governing the lead renovation, repair and painting (RRP) this week, and many remodelers worry about its impact on the remodeling industry. The state’s proposed RRP Rule, which governs remodeling and renovation practices in pre-1978 homes, would replace the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) RRP Rule in Minnesota once it is adopted. Housing First Minnesota obtained a copy of Minnesota’s proposed RRP Rule and we want to know your thoughts. Click below to read more and send comments about Minnesota's proposed RRP Rule, below, to nick@HousingFirstMN.org.
