SUMMARY:

Professions and occupations; asbestos and lead contractors, workers, supervisors, etc. Conforms Virginia law to federal regulations by adding a number of definitions of the various asbestos and lead programs, occupations, plans, and terminology. The bill also allows a contractor to contract to perform a project, a portion of which constitutes asbestos or lead abatement work, if all the asbestos or lead abatement work is subcontracted to a person licensed to perform such work. Private parties working on their own buildings are also exempted, but only if no other person or persons resides in the building and no child reside in the building who has been identified as having an elevated blood-lead level. The bill also provides for the Board to approve the criteria for accredited training programs, accredited lead training programs, training managers and principal instructors. In addition, the bill deletes redundant references to the Board's power to approve asbestos courses and primary instructors. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee To Study Lead-Based Paint Abatement.
