Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act of 2025

# Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act of 2025 would create a tax credit to help homeowners pay for lead removal and safety improvements in their homes. Lead is a toxic substance commonly found in older homes' paint, pipes, and soil, and exposure can cause serious health problems—especially in children. By offering a tax credit, the bill aims to make it more affordable for families to address lead hazards in their properties. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily benefit homeowners, particularly those living in older homes where lead contamination is more common.

Families with children and lower-income homeowners who cannot easily afford lead remediation would likely see the most impact. The bill could also affect the lead abatement and home improvement industries by increasing demand for their services. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee.
