What’s in it

Current law requires a person interested in transferring real property to deliver a written disclosure statement to persons interested in being transferred the real property. This bill provides for the inclusion of the presence of lead service lines in these disclosures. The bill adds the definitions “service line”, meaning a pipe connecting the water main to interior plumbing, and “lead service line”, meaning a service line which is made of lead, downstream of any lead service line, or a service line of unknown material, to Code chapter 558A (real estate disclosures).
