In the absence of any ambiguity, we construe the intent of the legislature by what it said, not by what it may have meant to say. Furstein v. Hill, 218 Conn. 610, 622, 590 A.2d 939 (1991). We need look no further than the statutory language. Elections Review Committee of the Eighth Utilities District v. Freedom of Information Commission, 219 Conn. 685, 692, 595 A.2d 313 (1991). Moreover, in light of the significant health hazards posed by lead-based paint, the result compelled by the language of these statutes is neither absurd nor irrational. See Turner v. Turner, 219 Conn. 703, 712-13, 595 A.2d 297 (1991). Accordingly, we decline to impose a notice provision on this unambiguous statutory scheme.
