MADISON - Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRB 0892, which is currently circulating for co-sponsorship.

Lead poisoning, especially in young children, can lead to profound and permanent health problems, including damage to brain development. Young children in childcare centers – and even in their own homes – can be exposed to lead-contaminated water without their parents’ knowledge. LRB 0892 would help to incentivize removing lead hazards in homes by creating a non-refundable income tax credit of up to $1500 to permanently eliminate a lead hazard in a dwelling.
