Bill > HB1391

Introduced Session

Joint Budget Committee. In 2022, the general assembly enacted, and the governor subsequently signed into law, House Bill 22-1358, which required child care centers, family child care homes, and each public school that serves any of grades preschool through eighth grade to: ! Test its drinking water sources by having a state-certified laboratory measure the lead content of water drawn from each drinking water source; and ! Satisfy other requirements concerning the provision of safe drinking water. House Bill 22-1358 also created the school and child care clean drinking water fund (fund) to help schools, child care centers, and family child care homes comply with House Bill 22-1358. House Bill 22-1358 included a repeal date of June 30, 2026, for its provisions. The bill extends the provisions, with amendments, until June 30, 2029. The bill also adds high schools (i.e., schools that serve grades to 12) to the scope of House Bill 22-1358, which means that high schools may receive grants from the fund and must satisfy certain requirements on or before dates specified in the bill. The bill prohibits the department of public health and environment from issuing or renewing a license for a child care center unless the child care center is in compliance with the requirements of House Bill 22-1358 concerning testing for the presence of lead in drinking water.
