Bill > A4770

This bill requires landlords of certain properties providing child care services who refuse lead service line replacements to install and maintain water filters. Specifically, the bill defines key terms such as "child care services," "lead service line," and "NSF/ANSI standard." It mandates that landlords who deny access to replace lead service lines must install and maintain point-of-use water filters certified to meet NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53 at all fixtures used by the child care provider. Landlords must also annually certify to the Department of Environmental Protection that they have installed the required filters or replacement cartridges. The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Environmental Protection to impose civil administrative penalties for violations and provides a process for tenants to take legal action against landlords who fail to comply.
