BALTIMORE & MARYLAND LEAD PAINT PROGRAM: DEFENSE NEW LAW UPDATE

www.charlesjeromeware.com      " Here to make a difference."
Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, is a premier Maryland-based, nationally-respected and recognized lead poisoning defense law firm. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact the firm at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We are here to help defendants in lead poisoning lawsuits.

Effective January 1st, 2015, a new lead law passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2012 and signed by Governor Martin O'Malley expands the universe of properties covered under the lead law to include rental properties built before 1978 --- when the use of lead paint was prohibited by the Federal government.

The previous lead law required rental properties in Baltimore and throughout Maryland built before 1950 to be registered in the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) lead program which is designed primarily to protect children from the health risks associated with lead paint poisoning.

Owners and landlords of the pre-1978 built real estate properties affected by the new changes in the lead law can now register these properties with the MDE online at  www.mde.maryland.gov/LeadRegistration.
