Bill > A1919

This bill requires certain residential property owners, schools, and child care centers to test drinking water for lead every three years. The initial test must be conducted within one year of the bill's effective date. If an elevated lead level is found, the property owner, school, or child care center must provide written notice to the local municipality, health agencies, and other relevant parties. The bill defines "elevated lead level" as a lead concentration exceeding the action level set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the state Department of Environmental Protection, whichever is more stringent.
