New Jersey A1758 allows public nuisance suits against lead paint manufacturers and exempts the Attorney General from certain requirements in such.

New Jersey A1758 amends state law to authorize common law public nuisance suits regarding lead paint. It specifically allows the Attorney General to pursue such claims against lead paint manufacturers, exempting them from needing to demonstrate physical control of lead paint or real property containing lead paint, or a special injury to prevail. The bill also ensures the Attorney General is not limited to injunctive relief in these actions. This act applies to causes of action filed on or after its enactment.
