Rhode Island AG Issued Guidance on Complying with Lead Poisoning Prevention Laws

JANUARY 11, 2024

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha issued compliance guidance for landlords regarding recently passed lead poisoning prevention laws. In a statement, AG Neronha said: “Every child in every home in Rhode Island deserves to be safe from lead poisoning, and these laws will help us end childhood lead poisoning in our state once and for all. Three of these new laws stem from our Office’s increased involvement in lead enforcement, and do not impose any new requirements. Rather, they work to ensure landlords comply with the requirements already in place and take the necessary steps to keep Rhode Islanders safe.”
