Modifies provisions governing lead in school drinking water

HB 995 requires all Missouri public and private schools receiving state funding to maintain lead levels below 5 parts per billion in drinking water. It mandates schools to test all drinking water outlets (including fountains, taps, and ice machines) starting in 2024, with priority for early childhood and elementary schools. Schools must remediate contamination through pipe replacement, certified filters, or bottled water if lead exceeds limits, and notify parents/staff within seven business days of test results above 5 ppb. The law also requires annual testing of 25% of outlets and public posting of results, with full remediation required by August 2024.
