Rep. García, Senators Durbin Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Children from Lead Poisoning

Representative Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04), Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Todd Young (R-IN) introduced the Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act, which would require the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to update its lead poisoning prevention measures to reflect modern science and ensure that families and children living in federally-assisted housing are protected from the devastating consequences of lead poisoning.
