 Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  BRONSON, REYES, SEAWRIGHT, KELLES, LUNSFORD,

   once and referred to the Committee on Labor
 
 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  labor law and the executive law, in relation to
   establishing the "New York  state  lead-safe  renovation,  repair  and
   painting act"

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new  article  31-A  to
 read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 31-A
                         NEW YORK STATE LEAD-SAFE
                    RENOVATION, REPAIR AND PAINTING ACT
 SECTION 925. SHORT TITLE.
         926. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
         927. DEFINITIONS.
         928. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY RENOVATION.
   §  925.  SHORT  TITLE. THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY BE CITED AS
 THE "NEW YORK STATE LEAD-SAFE RENOVATION, REPAIR AND PAINTING ACT".
   § 926. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS AND DECLARES
 THAT LEAD POISONING OF CHILDREN PERSISTS AS ONE OF  THE  MOST  PREVALENT
 AND  PREVENTABLE  ENVIRONMENTAL DISEASES IN NEW YORK. NEARLY ONE HUNDRED
 THOUSAND CHILDREN WERE NEWLY IDENTIFIED WITH LEVELS  OF  LEAD  IN  THEIR
 BLOOD  AT  FIVE  MICROGRAMS  PER DECILITER IN NEW YORK STATE BETWEEN TWO
 THOUSAND ELEVEN AND TWO THOUSAND  FIFTEEN.  MEDICAL  RESEARCH  INDICATES
 THAT  CHILDREN  CAN  SUFFER  PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE AT BLOOD LEVELS EVEN
 LOWER THAN FIVE MICROGRAMS PER DECILITER, AND THAT THERE IS NO LEVEL  OF
 LEAD INGESTION WHICH IS WITHOUT ADVERSE IMPACT.
   THE  PREDOMINANT  CAUSE OF LEAD POISONING IN CHILDREN IS THE INGESTION
 OF LEAD DUST FROM LEAD-BASED PAINT FROM OLDER RESIDENCES.  ALTHOUGH  NEW
 YORK  STATE  BANNED  THE  SALE  OF  LEAD-BASED PAINT IN NINETEEN HUNDRED
 SEVENTY,  SEVENTY-FOUR  PERCENT  OF  NEW  YORK'S   HOUSING   STOCK   WAS
 CONSTRUCTED  PRIOR  TO  NINETEEN  HUNDRED SEVENTY AND TEN PERCENT OF NEW
 YORK'S HOUSING WAS CONSTRUCTED  BETWEEN  NINETEEN  HUNDRED  SEVENTY  AND
