An Act amending Title 27 (Environmental Resources) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for lead abatement assistance; establishing the Lead Abatement Grant Program and the Lead Abatement Assistance Fund; and imposing an architectural paint surcharge.

HB 584 creates a program to help Pennsylvania homeowners address lead paint hazards in older homes. It establishes a Lead Abatement Grant Program, where municipalities receive competitive grants to fund lead hazard control work (like paint removal or soil cleanup) for single-family homes and rental properties. The program prioritizes low-income households (under 50% of median income) and homes with children under six. Funding comes from a 50¢ surcharge on each gallon of architectural paint sold to consumers, deposited into a dedicated Lead Abatement Assistance Fund. The surcharge applies to standard interior/exterior paint for homeowners or businesses, not industrial or aerosol products.
