2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 131 - Hazardous Substances|Part 3 - Toxic Art Supplies Labeling Act of Tennessee|§ 68-131-305. Exemptions — Banning and Removal of Toxic Substances — Compliance With Act

  If the commissioner finds that, because of the size of the package involved, or because of the minor hazard presented by the substance contained in the package, or for other good and sufficient reasons, full compliance with the labeling requirements otherwise applicable under this part is impracticable or is not necessary for the adequate protection of the public health and safety, the commissioner shall promulgate regulations exempting such substances from these requirements to the extent the commissioner determines to be consistent with adequate protection of the public health and safety.   If the commissioner finds the hazard of an article subject to this part is such that labeling adequate to protect the public health and safety cannot be devised, the commissioner may declare such article to be a banned toxic substance and require its removal from commerce.   If an art or craft material complies with labeling standards D-4236 of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the material complies with this part, unless the department determines that the label on an art or craft material does not satisfy the purposes of this part.

  The department of environment and conservation shall establish a certification program for lead abatement professionals.   The program shall:  Certify all individuals involved in lead-based paint abatement activities;   Accredit training providers;   Establish standards for such program;   Insure compliance with regulations;   Enforce the certification program;   Revise regulations and procedures when necessary; and   Establish reciprocity provisions with other state certification programs.     The program shall conform to certification standards promulgated by the environmental protection agency for such programs, but shall not be more stringent than those standards. Furthermore, it is the intent of the general assembly that in this program the department shall only establish a certification program, and not provide the training for either the trainers or the lead-based paint professionals.   The commissioner shall establish a program for the education of owners and occupants of target housing and child-occupied facilities concerning lead-based paint hazards. This program shall require persons who perform renovation in such facilities for compensation to provide owners and occupants with a lead hazard information pamphlet prior to commencing the renovation. The program shall meet the requirements of the federal program under the Lead Based Paint Exposure Reduction Act, compiled in 15 U.S.C. § 2681 et seq.

  The commissioner and the commissioner's designated staff have the authority to enter the business premises of persons and firms certified to engage in lead-based paint activities during business hours upon presenting credentials identifying themselves as employees of the department.   The commissioner and the commissioner's designated staff shall have the authority to enter any structure, including residences, where lead-based paint activities have occurred, or are being conducted, for the purpose of determining compliance with lead-based paint abatement requirements, provided they either:  Obtain the consent of the owner or an adult occupant of the premises after presenting credentials identifying themselves as employees of the department; or   Apply for and obtain a warrant from a court with jurisdiction, which shall be issued by the court upon a showing of probable cause that the inhabitants of the dwelling are likely to suffer adverse health effects from continued exposure to a lead-based paint hazard.
TN Code § 68-131-404 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 131 - Hazardous Substances|Part 4 - Tennessee Lead-Based Paint Abatement Certification Act of 1997|§ 68-131-404. Unlawful Acts

   On and after the effective date of regulations promulgated by the commissioner pursuant to this chapter, no person shall perform or represent that such person is qualified to perform any lead-based paint activities without having received the appropriate certification from the department, unless such person is:  An owner performing abatement upon that person's own residential property;   An employee of a property management company doing routine cleaning and repainting upon property managed by that company, where there is insignificant damage to, wear of, or corrosion of existing lead-containing paint or coating substances; or   An owner routinely cleaning or repainting the owner's property, where there is insignificant damage to, wear of, or corrosion of existing lead-containing paint or coating substances.     “Lead based paint activities,” as used in this part has the same meaning as in the rules promulgated by the United States environmental protection agency for the federal lead-based paint program under the Toxic Substances Control Act, compiled in 15 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. This includes lead-based paint inspection, risk assessment, and abatement activities, but does not include renovation, remodeling, landscaping, or other activities, when such activities are not designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards, but instead are designed to repair, restore or remodel a structure, even though these activities may incidentally result in a reduction or elimination of lead-based paint hazards.     Failure of a lead-based paint abatement contractor to conduct lead-based paint activities in accordance with the requirements of the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter is unlawful.   Failure or refusal to establish, maintain, provide, copy, or permit access to records or reports required by the rules promulgated under this chapter is unlawful.   Failure or refusal to permit entry or inspection as required by § 68-131-403 is unlawful.   Failure of anyone, including a renovator of target housing, to comply with the requirements of the rules promulgated under this part is unlawful.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 131 - Hazardous Substances|Part 4 - Tennessee Lead-Based Paint Abatement Certification Act of 1997|§ 68-131-405. Penalties

   Any person who violates any provision of § 68-131-404 or the rules promulgated pursuant to this part is subject to a civil penalty of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per day for each day during which the act or omission continues or occurs.   A civil penalty may be assessed and enforced in the following manner:  The commissioner may issue a civil penalty assessment against any person responsible for the violation;   Any person against whom an assessment has been issued may secure a review of such assessment by filing with the commissioner a written petition setting forth the grounds and reasons for the objections, and asking for a hearing in the matter involved. If a petition for review of the assessment is not filed within thirty (30) days after the date the assessment is served, the violator shall be deemed to have consented to the assessment and it shall become final;   Whenever any assessment has become final because of a person's failure to appeal the commissioner's assessment, the commissioner may apply to the appropriate court for a judgment and seek execution of such judgment. The court, in such proceedings, shall treat a failure to appeal such assessment as a confession of judgment in the amount of the assessment;   In lieu of the administrative assessment procedure pursuant to this subdivision (a)(2), the commissioner may also institute proceedings for assessment of a civil penalty in the chancery court of Davidson County or in the chancery court of the county in which all or part of the violation occurred;   In assessing the civil penalty, the commissioner may consider the following factors:   Whether the civil penalty imposed will be a substantial economic deterrent to the illegal activity;   The potential or actual harm posed to people or the environment by the violation;   The cause of the violation;   The effectiveness of action taken by the violator to cease the violation; and   The economic benefit gained by the violator; and     All such civil penalties and all fees collected pursuant to this part shall be deposited into a subaccount in the fund created by § 68-203-101 and treated accordingly.       The commissioner may suspend or revoke a certification or accreditation for any person who violates any provision of §§ 68-131-403 — 68-131-405 or the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter, in accordance with the procedures set forth in § 4-5-320.   Any person knowingly failing, neglecting, or refusing to comply with any of the provisions of § 68-131-404, commits a Class C misdemeanor. Each day upon which such violation occurs constitutes a separate offense.
