AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure safe drinking water in schools. It requires schools and child care centers to annually test their drinking water outlets for elevated lead levels and take remedial actions if any outlets show elevated lead levels, such as installing certified point-of-use filters and replacing lead service lines. The bill also establishes the Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Trust Fund to assist schools and child care centers in meeting the bill's requirements. The bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection to develop technical guidance and rules for lead testing and remediation, and provides a process for schools and child care centers to request hardship waivers from the requirements.
