What’s in it
AI summary When people sell real estate, they must now tell potential buyers if the property has lead water pipes. This new rule requires sellers to disclose if the pipe connecting the water main to the house is made of lead, contains lead, or is made of an unknown material.1
Read the official explanation
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).
Changed since by amendments S-3178, H-1086; see Amendments.
