Effective today certain paint jobs on homes or apartments built before 1978 will need to be completed by a contractor who is lead paint certified by the EPA. A link to an article in the Tribune is included.
A few things caught my attention on this :
1) I have not seen too much in the way of a public awareness campain for this measure, I have not seen much in the way of alerting contractors either.
2) This is exepcted to increase the cost of a paint job by approximately 5%
3) The liabilty is on the contractor, not the property owner
