         1. a.  A person who performs renovation, remodeling, or
      repainting services for target housing or a child-occupied facility
      for compensation shall provide an approved lead hazard information
      pamphlet to the owner and occupant of the housing or facility prior
      to commencing the services.  The department shall adopt rules to
      implement the renovation, remodeling, and repainting lead hazard
      notification process under this section.
         b.  The rules shall include but are not limited to an
      authorization that the lead hazard notification to parents or
      guardians of the children attending a child-occupied facility may be
      completed by posting an informational sign and a copy of the approved
      lead hazard information pamphlet.  The rules shall also address
      requirements for notification of parents or guardians of the children
      visiting a child-occupied facility when the facility is vacant for an
      extended period of time.
         2.  For the purpose of this section and section 135.105A, unless
      the context otherwise requires:
         a. (1)  "Child-occupied facility" means a building, or
      portion of a building, constructed prior to 1978, that is described
      by all of the following:
         (a)  The building is visited on a regular basis by the same child,
      who is less than six years of age, on at least two different days
      within any week.  For purposes of this paragraph "a", a week is a
      Sunday through Saturday period.
         (b)  Each day's visit by the child lasts at least three hours, and
      the combined annual visits total at least sixty hours.
         (2)  A child-occupied facility may include but is not limited to a
      child care center, preschool, or kindergarten classroom.  A
      child-occupied facility also includes common areas that are routinely
      used by children who are less than six years of age, such as
      restrooms and cafeterias, and the exterior walls and adjoining space
      of the building that are immediately adjacent to the child-occupied
      facility or the common areas routinely used by children under the age
      of six years.
         b.  "Target housing" means housing constructed prior to 1978
      with the exception of housing for the elderly or for persons with
      disabilities and housing that does not contain a bedroom, unless at
      least one child, under six years of age, resides or is expected to
      reside in the housing.
         3.  A person who violates this section is subject to a civil
      penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars for each offense.
