AI Summary
This bill provides for the protection of the air quality at licensed day care centers and Head Start day care centers funded under federal law. It requires the Office of Children and Family Services to consult with the Departments of Environmental Conservation and Health regarding any potential environmental hazards, such as industrial facilities, landfills, or toxic contaminants, that may impact new day care centers or their outdoor recreational areas. The bill also sets standards for the required design and ventilation systems in new day care centers, and requires existing centers to meet these standards within one year of their license renewal. Additionally, if any new environmental hazards are identified near an existing day care center, the Department of Health must evaluate the impact and require the facility creating the hazard to remediate it within 90 days without any adverse action on the day care center's license.
