The Pre-Renovation Education (PRE) Program was established to ensure that owners and occupants of pre-1978 housing are provided information concerning potential hazards of lead-based paint exposure before certain renovations begin in order to prevent adverse health effects from renovation activity.

The PRE regulations, Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) 28-72-51 through 28-72-54 (.pdf) apply to renovations and remodeling in residential housing built before 1978.
