Operative Text
The purpose of this subtitle is to reduce the incidence of childhood lead poisoning, while maintaining the stock of available affordable rental housing.
Maryland's Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-802 establishes the dual purpose behind the state's lead paint rental housing law: reducing childhood lead poisoning and preserving the supply of affordable rental housing. This provision sets the policy foundation that guides how the rest of the subtitle's requirements are interpreted and applied. It reflects a legislative intent to balance public health protections with housing availability concerns.
