GET THE LEAD OUT Act of 2026 Grants for Eliminating the Toxic...
To eliminate lead-based pipe and tap hazards in housing, and for other purposes.
HB9837, also known as the GET THE LEAD OUT Act of 2026, aims to address the serious health risks caused by lead-based pipes and taps in housing. The bill proposes to provide grants to help communities replace these hazardous materials, ensuring safer water for everyone. This initiative would particularly benefit families with young children and the elderly, who are more vulnerable to lead poisoning.
The GET THE LEAD OUT Act was introduced on July 22, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, as well as the Committees on Financial Services and Ways and Means for further review. This bill is in its early stages and has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing or voted on by the full House.
Key actions include the bill's introduction and referral to multiple committees. Moving forward, it will need to pass through these committees and potentially the full House before any further legislative action can take place.
