Section 130-A:18 Civil Suits.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the mere presence of a lead base substance shall not constitute negligence on the part of an owner of any dwelling. To establish negligence on the part of an owner, the plaintiff in a civil suit shall demonstrate actual injury caused by the lead base substance. In addition, the mere presence of a lead base substance in a dwelling shall not by itself violate any warranty of habitability.
