Lead Trust Fund

A bill that has been considered by the U. S. Congress would create a source of money to help pay for removing the lead from low-income families homes. The law has been called the Lead-Based Paint Abatement Trust Fund Act or the Lead Abatement Trust Fund Act. The theory behind the trust fund is that the fairest way to pay for cleaning up lead hazards is to put the burden on the industry that profited from lead in the first place, lead producers and importers.
