Requires schools and child care centers to test drinking water for lead every two years and install filters certified to reduce lead levels.
This bill requires all schools and child care centers to test drinking water for lead at every outlet used for drinking or food preparation at least every two years. If lead levels exceed five parts per billion, facilities must immediately stop using affected outlets, notify parents and staff in writing, and provide alternate drinking water. The bill also mandates installation of filters certified to reduce lead levels at all such outlets, with regular cartridge replacements as recommended by the manufacturer. Test results must be posted publicly within 96 hours, and written notifications must include health information and details about remediation steps.
