HB 1860: School drinking water/lead

Taking action to address lead in drinking water in schools.

Summary

  • Requires public and private schools to test for lead in drinking water outlets in school buildings built or renovated with drinking water lines and outlets replaced before 2016.
  • Allows state-tribal education compact schools to opt into this lead testing.
  • Requires a school action plan when a lead test result reveals an elevated lead level, which means it exceeds nine part parts per billion unless a lower concentration is specified in rule.
  • Directs the Department of Health to conduct lead testing and develop technical guidance.
