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 New Jersey public schools and child care centers to test drinking water for lead at every accessible outlet (like sinks and fountains) every two years. If lead levels exceed 5 parts per billion, schools must install NSF/ANSI-certified filters to reduce lead and notify parents, staff, and the state within 24 hours. The law mandates specific testing procedures, including 8-48 hour water stagnation periods and public posting of results. It directly affects over 1,500 school facilities statewide by establishing a regular testing and remediation process for drinking water safety.
