## Summary

**A national framework to eliminate lead-based pipe hazards.** This bill creates rules, training, lab standards, disclosure requirements, and a large federal grant program to find, finance, and fix lead in pipes, taps, and related plumbing. - Families and children: Requires lead-hazard information pamphlets, mandatory disclosure of known pipe hazards, a 10-day window for buyers or renters to get inspections, and funds for post-activity blood-lead testing for children under age 6. - State and local housing providers: Establishes HUD grant funding and program integration with a focus on priority housing, sets a minimum 10% nonfederal match, and authorizes about $9.5 billion per year for 2026–2035 to pay for evaluations, abatements, relocation assistance, and training. - Investment managers and high-net-worth partners: Revises tax rules for investment services partnerships and carried interests to expand ordinary income treatment, tighten reporting, increase accuracy-related penalties to 40% for certain avoidance, and treat some partnership income as self-employment earnings; it also reverts the estate and gift tax exclusion to its pre-2018 level. *Authorizes roughly $9.5 billion annually from 2026–2035 plus additional unspecified funding for EPA and related activities, which would increase federal spending if appropriated.*
