Utah Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule - What You Need to Know

***Utah Certified Renovation Firms***

Please be aware that Utah home owners can still "opt-out" of requirements found in the Utah Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule (UAC R307-841-3(3)). The "opt-out" provision requires the home owner to sign a statement that the renovation will occur in the owner's residence, no child under 6 or pregnant woman resides there, the house is not a child-occupied facility, and the firm is not required to use LBP RRP work practices.

Opt-out Form

Utah is planning to remove the "opt-out" provision sometime in 2011.
