Great news for remodeling contractors! The EPA announced on Monday that it will delay enforcement of the RRP lead safe laws until October 1st, 2010. Contractors are now allowed to register for certification programs by September 31st and training must be completed by December 31st.
The EPA stated that this extension is only designed to give firms more time to file the necessary paperwork and allow contractors more time to enroll and complete the required training courses. There will be strict enforcement of the RRP lead safe laws after the extended deadline to protect children and families from the dangers of lead poisoning.
