I have been a self-employed tile setter for thirty years
And between cost of all my insurances comp/lyb
I can’t even think of what this might be like for painting contractors
Like you said "maybe 2%" might be a hazard
Then is it a complete gut or just changing trim around a replacement window
To make it sound like we are ripping out asbestos
Instead of just lead paint that we are "not" eating
Is just nuts!
I talked to a few contractors last night
They are just going to ignore it unless someone asks
The bottom line is the "market" is no way going to support the cost
Just another over reached blanket law that hurts "small" business
