Alabama Lead Ban Act revises lead-free definitions and requires plumbing codes to conform.

It mandates that city and county plumbing codes be updated to align with these new definitions by a specified deadline. The bill also exempts certain materials and applications from the lead-free requirements, such as nonpotable services and specific plumbing fixtures. The changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
