Substitute House Bill No. 5241, also known as Special Act No. 26-13, establishes a framework for a study on "Triple Bottom Line Justice" (TBLJ), which integrates evidence-based practices, rule of law, and community engagement to address health, environmental, and economic challenges faced by communities. The bill defines "Brownfields to Healthfields" (B2H) as a TBLJ methodology aimed at redeveloping contaminated properties in areas affected by pollution, disease, poverty, and violence, with the goal of enhancing the physical and mental health of children, families, and communities.

To implement this initiative, the Commissioner of Public Health is tasked with convening a working group that includes the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection and representatives from a school of public health. This group will focus on developing a TBLJ demonstration program related to B2H. The Commissioner is required to submit a report detailing the group's activities to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by July 1, 2027. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to define TBLJ and B2H and outline the responsibilities of the working group.
