        135.105A  LEAD INSPECTOR, LEAD ABATER, AND LEAD-SAFE
      RENOVATOR TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAM ESTABLISHED -- CIVIL
      PENALTY.
         1.  The department shall establish a program for the training and
      certification of lead inspectors, lead abaters, and lead-safe
      renovators.  The department shall maintain a listing, available to
      the public and to city and county health departments, of lead
      inspector, lead abater, and lead-safe renovator training programs
      that have been approved by the department, and of lead inspectors,
      lead abaters, and lead-safe renovators who have successfully
      completed the training program and have been certified by the
      department.  A person may be certified as a lead inspector, a lead
      abater, or a lead-safe renovator, or may be certified to provide two
      or more of such services.  However, a person who holds more than one
      such certification shall not provide inspection service and also
      provide abatement service or renovation service at the same site
      unless a written consent or waiver, following full disclosure by the
      person, is obtained from the owner or manager of the site.
         2.  A person who owns real property which includes a residential
      dwelling and who performs lead inspection, lead abatement, or
      renovation of the residential dwelling is not required to obtain
      certification to perform these measures, unless the residential
      dwelling is occupied by a person other than the owner or a member of
      the owner's immediate family while the measures are being performed.
      However, the department shall encourage property owners who are not
      required to be certified to complete the applicable training course
      to ensure the use of appropriate and safe lead inspection, lead
      abatement, or lead-safe renovation procedures.
         3.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person shall
      not perform lead abatement or lead inspections, and shall not perform
      renovations on target housing or a child-occupied facility, unless
      the person has completed a training program approved by the
      department and has obtained certification pursuant to this section.
      All lead abatement and lead inspections; and lead inspector, lead
      abater, and lead-safe renovation training programs; and renovations
      on target housing or a child-occupied facility, shall be performed
      and conducted in accordance with work practice standards established
      by the department.  A person shall not conduct a training program for
      lead inspectors, lead abaters, or lead-safe renovators unless the
      program has been submitted to and approved by the department.
         4.  A person who violates this section is subject to a civil
      penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars for each offense.
         5.  The department shall adopt rules regarding minimum
      requirements for lead inspector, lead abater, and lead-safe renovator
      training programs, certification, work practice standards, and
      suspension and revocation requirements, and shall implement the
      training and certification programs.  The department shall seek
      federal funding and shall establish fees in amounts sufficient to
      defray the cost of the programs.  Fees received shall be considered
      repayment receipts as defined in section 8.2.
