Authorizes common law public nuisance suits regarding lead paint under State law; exempts Attorney General from certain aspects of public nuisance claims when pursuing lead paint actions.

This bill allows New Jersey's Attorney General to file public nuisance lawsuits against lead paint manufacturers (both current and former) seeking monetary damages, rather than being limited to court orders to stop the problem. It removes requirements the Attorney General previously had to meet, such as proving a manufacturer physically controls lead paint or property containing it, or demonstrating a special injury. The bill also updates a product liability law to explicitly include lead paint claims under an exemption for environmental torts, ensuring these cases aren't barred by existing rules. This change directly responds to a 2007 court ruling that blocked similar claims by municipalities.
