The aim is to protect health, especially children's, from the harmful effects of lead, which can lead to developmental and learning problems. Thanks to this credit, citizens can recover a portion of their expenses for safe lead removal, reducing the cost of improving safety in their homes.

The credit applies to homes built before 1978 and covers costs for assessment, lead abatement, cleanup, and potential temporary relocation.
To qualify, work must be performed by certified professionals, and completion must be confirmed with written documentation.
The provisions apply to costs incurred after December 31, 2020, and are effective until December 31, 2024.
