A 572 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOE and DCF to establish online reporting systems for schools and child care centers to report lead testing results.

This bill (A572) requires New Jersey's Department of Education (DOE) and Department of Children and Families (DCF) to create online systems for schools and child care centers to submit lead testing results for drinking water. It directly affects all schools (required to test since 2016) and child care centers (required to test since 2017) statewide. Schools and centers must submit or resubmit existing test results via these systems within 90 days of their launch, and both departments must publish all compiled results on public websites in searchable formats. Additionally, DOE and DCF must jointly produce a two-year report analyzing lead contamination levels, remediation needs, and state assistance recommendations.
