The Child Lead Exposure Elimination Commission (CLEEC), established by Executive Order 2017-2, works collaboratively with all levels of government and stakeholders throughout the state to eliminate lead exposure for Michigan's children.
EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 2017-2
CHARGE TO THE COMMISSION: The Commission shall act in an advisory capacity to the Governor and to the Director of the Department and shall do all of the following:
The Child Lead Exposure Elimination Commission (CLEEC), established by Executive Order 2017-2, works collaboratively with all levels of government and stakeholders throughout the state to eliminate lead exposure for Michigan's children.
The CLEEC envisions a state free of lead exposure by 2030 to benefit the health of Michigan's children. To achieve this vision, the Commission believes a focus on primary prevention is essential in eliminating all sources of lead exposure.
The CLEEC believes in eliminating lead in air, soil, water, products, and homes by using health equity as a lens and leveraging policy, partnerships, programs, and public engagement in a targeted way that accounts for the inequitable burden of lead exposure among individuals and communities.
2026-2027: What Are We Working On?
Adopt a consistent, statewide housing code enforcement model that is proactive and explicitly addresses exposure from lead-based paint.
Intent: Improve local housing stock and protect families from lead exposure at home through efforts with local contractors, property owners, and local units of government.
Allocate funding at state and local levels for follow-up at housing units where an elevated blood level investigation determines risk and the property owner fails to remediate the hazard.
Intent: Ensure that identified lead hazards are addressed in properties with lead impacted children by marshaling education, resources and enforcement as necessary.
Pass legislation requiring a contractor seeking a building or renovation permit on a pre-1978 home to provide proof of his/her Lead-Safe Certification as required by the federal Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule of 2010.
Intent: Make certain that construction, repair and remodeling trades working in pre-1978 residences have lead-safe training and RRP certification and are utilizing lead safe work practices as required by law to keep families safe.
Collaborate with identified state departments for increasing lead abatement workforce in Michigan.
Intent: Employ creative partnerships and novel approaches to help build up Michigan's lead professional workforce in order to support state and local projects.
Require a one-time lead inspection and risk assessments before the transfer or leasing of a pre-1978 home, including water testing. The owner must then disclose this information to any future buyers or renters under federal law. Provisions will be necessary to prevent these and other rental property requirements from being waived in the event of sale through land contract.
Intent: Work to ensure that prospective home buyers and renters appreciate and have notice of the lead risks associated with their dwelling before they move in. For rental housing, there should be increased notification and clearance responsibilities as this is a consumer transaction with a higher duty of care required.
