I had new windows installed in my very old house last fall. Our paint contained lead also. It was going to cost $75 per window because of the lead paint and the extra work of having to safely remove and dispose of the old windows. I asked the contractor if I could avoid the extra cost by removing the sashes myself. He checked with whoever is in charge of enforcing this law and found out it was legal for me to do it myself. I didn't even have to remove the windows just the just the two panels on each side of the window.
