Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of CLPPP?

The Massachusetts Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) has specific responsibilities aimed at reducing lead exposure and protecting children from lead poisoning. The correct answer identifies an option that does not fall within the scope of CLPPP's responsibilities.

Issuing fines for non-compliance is typically not a direct function of CLPPP. Instead, this role is often carried out by regulatory agencies or enforcement bodies that have the authority to impose penalties for violations of health and safety regulations. CLPPP focuses more on prevention, education, and assistance rather than punitive actions.

In contrast, granting authorization to contractors, providing training to property owners, and assisting owners and agents with compliance are all aligned with the mission of CLPPP. These activities support property owners in understanding lead safety practices, ensuring that contractors are properly certified, and helping property managers meet regulations, which are crucial for maintaining lead-safe environments.
