Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a § 19a-111e
Federal funds for lead poisoning prevention programs.
Operative Text
The Department of Public Health shall apply for, qualify for and accept any federal funds made available or allotted under any federal act for state lead poisoning prevention programs including lead abatement certification programs pursuant to the federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-111e, Connecticut's Department of Public Health is directed to actively seek out, qualify for, and accept any available federal funding designated for state lead poisoning prevention efforts, including programs that certify contractors and others to perform lead abatement work under the federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. This provision ensures that Connecticut pursues federal resources rather than leaving them unclaimed. The rule places the obligation squarely on the state agency, not on individual landlords or tenants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-111e supports the infrastructure behind Connecticut's lead abatement certification system by requiring the Department of Public Health to pursue federal funding for these programs. Compliant property owners and managers generally stay current with state-administered lead abatement certification requirements, which are sustained in part by the federal funds this provision directs the agency to secure. Operators who work with certified lead abatement professionals benefit indirectly from the program capacity that this funding mandate helps maintain.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-111e helps ensure that Connecticut's lead poisoning prevention and abatement certification programs remain funded through federal sources, which supports the availability of certified contractors and state oversight resources that protect residents. Tenants who have concerns about lead-based paint hazards in their homes may contact the Connecticut Department of Public Health, which administers these programs, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for information about available remedies. Understanding that this provision keeps state programs resourced can be useful context when exploring enforcement options or housing complaints related to lead hazards.
