Directs the department of environmental conservation to conduct a study on retrofitting certain schools
This bill directs New York's Department of Environmental Conservation (with input from Education) to study retrofitting air filtration, ventilation, and building sealing at public and charter schools located within 500 feet of major highways. The study will assess current systems, identify gaps, recommend upgrades to filter traffic pollution, evaluate building integrity, and estimate costs for each school. It requires a detailed report with findings, recommendations, and statewide cost estimates to state leaders within one year. The goal is to address indoor air quality concerns near highways, supporting the state's obligation to protect children's health and education environment.
