Workgroup on Lead Liability Protection for Rental Property

This work group was established through legislation passed by the 2012 Maryland General Assembly. Its mission is to evaluate and make recommendations relating to lead liability protection for owners of pre-1978 rental property. It will examine: the feasibility of encouraging the existing insurance marketplace to provide lead liability coverage for owners of pre-1978 rental property; the feasibility of establishing other mechanisms for providing lead liability insurance coverage for owners of pre-1978 rental property; the feasibility of establishing an insurance fund for lead liability insurance coverage; and the extent to which private risk management tools such as insurance and bonds are available on the commercial market.

The Commissioner was required to report the findings of the workgroup to the Governor and the General Assembly on or before Dec. 1, 2012.
