Independent EPA Authorized RRP Rule Programs by State
I wanted take a second to create a clean post highlighting the states that officially administer and enforce their own RRP programs.
As of June 21, 2010, eight states — Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina, Mississippi, Kansas, Rhode Island, Utah, and Oregon – administer and enforce their own RRP programs. Renovators working in these states must comply with all applicable state laws, notwithstanding this guidance.
Below you will find quick links to each of these states programs:
