HB 5673 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Water supply: quality and standards; clean drinking water requirements in child care centers; modify. Amends secs. 3i & 3j of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.113i & 722.113j).

This bill requires child care centers in Michigan to create and maintain drinking water management plans that identify all water outlets and filtration systems. It mandates water testing at least every two years and establishes specific protocols for handling lead levels, including immediate actions like shutting off outlets or replacing filters when lead concentrations exceed certain thresholds. The legislation also requires centers to update their water management plans every five years and to notify parents and state agencies if lead levels exceed 5 parts per billion. These requirements directly affect licensed child care organizations and their staff, with oversight provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
