Bill Summary
Relative to drinking water at schools and early childhood programs. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure safe drinking water at schools and early childhood programs in Massachusetts. It requires public water systems to replace all lead service lines serving schools and early childhood programs within three years. Schools and early childhood programs must also test for lead in drinking water annually and take immediate action to shut off and remediate any outlets with elevated lead levels. The bill also mandates transparency measures, including requiring schools and programs to submit their remediation plans and test results to state agencies and make them publicly available. The Department of Environmental Protection is authorized to issue technical guidance and interim regulations to implement the bill's provisions.
