AN ACT REQUIRING PCB TESTING IN CERTAIN SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.

SB 875 requires all local and regional school boards to test buildings and facilities constructed between 1948 and 1979 for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The bill creates a PCB Testing and Remediation Fund to provide financial assistance through grants or low-interest loans for testing and remediation costs. It directly affects school districts responsible for maintaining older school facilities. The law mandates testing to identify PCB presence but does not specify remediation requirements or timelines.
