Creates a tax credit for homeowners to remove lead, protecting children from poisoning.
This bill would create a new federal tax credit for homeowners who remove lead hazards from older homes. Taxpayers could get back 50 percent of their costs. The credit would be capped at $3,000 for full removal or $1,000 for temporary fixes, with a total limit of $4,000 per home. This aims to make homes safer and reduce lead poisoning in children.
Today, there is no specific federal tax credit for homeowners to remove lead hazards, though federal grant programs have helped about 400,000 homes since 1993. If this bill passes, homeowners could claim a new federal tax credit for 50 percent of their lead removal costs. This credit would be capped at $3,000 for full abatement or $1,000 for interim measures, with a total limit of $4,000 per home. This change would encourage more homeowners to address lead hazards in their properties.
