Existing law establishes an action for a public nuisance, which affects an entire community or neighborhood, or a considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal. Existing law authorizes a private party or a public body to bring an action to abate a public nuisance. This bill would provide that residential lead-based paint that affects the health of a considerable number of persons constitutes a public nuisance. Under the bill, a party may be subject to liability for public nuisance if that party promoted lead-based paint for a particular use with actual or constructive knowledge that such use would cause health hazards sufficiently serious to render that use unreasonable, as specified. The bill would provide that, in an action seeking solely abatement of residential lead-based paint, causation may be established without presenting evidence that a particular party caused a particular lead-based paint to be applied in a particular residence, as specified. The bill would provide legislative findings and declarations in support of these provisions.
