Cal. Civ. Code § 6-848
Md. Code Ann., Environment Art. Title 6, Subtitle 8 — Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
Operative Text
The Department shall: (1) Develop and establish community outreach programs to high lead risk areas, which may be implemented by the Department, local governments, or community groups; and (2) Assist local governments to provide case management services if necessary to persons at risk with elevated blood lead.
Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-848, Maryland's Department of the Environment is required to create and run community outreach programs targeting areas with high lead risk, and to help local governments deliver case management services to individuals with elevated blood lead levels. These programs may be carried out by the Department itself, by local governments, or by community groups. The provision establishes a state-level infrastructure for identifying and supporting people most affected by lead exposure.

Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-848 places affirmative duties on the state Department of the Environment rather than directly on property owners, but landlords operating in high lead risk areas should be aware that outreach programs authorized by this provision may bring increased community and government attention to lead hazards in rental housing. Compliant operators generally maintain up-to-date lead inspections and disclosures as required elsewhere in the broader §§ 6-801 to 6-852 framework. Awareness of state-sponsored outreach activity in a neighborhood can inform a property manager's own maintenance and communication practices.

Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-848, tenants and their families living in high lead risk areas have a right to benefit from state-mandated outreach programs and, if a household member has an elevated blood lead level, may be eligible for case management services coordinated through local governments. Tenants who believe they are not receiving access to these services can contact their local health department or the Maryland Department of the Environment to inquire about available resources. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Maryland's lead law can also help identify what support may be available under this provision.
