An Act to require the disclosure of lead in water pipes
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require sellers and landlords to disclose the presence of lead in water pipes and service lines when selling or renting property. The change expands existing disclosure requirements, which currently cover lead-based paint, to explicitly include plumbing systems. By updating the legal text, the legislation ensures that prospective buyers and tenants receive information about potential lead hazards in the building's water infrastructure.
