This bill mandates the Department of Education (DOE) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to create online reporting systems for schools and child care centers to electronically submit their lead testing results for drinking water. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the DOE must establish its reporting system, followed by a requirement for schools that tested for lead since July 1, 2016, to submit their results within 90 days of the system's launch. Similarly, the DCF is tasked with establishing its system within the same timeframe, requiring child care centers that tested for lead since January 1, 2017, to report their results within 90 days. Both departments are also responsible for compiling and making this information publicly accessible on their websites.

Additionally, the bill requires the DOE and DCF, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection, to prepare a report within two years of the act's effective date. This report will detail the extent of lead contamination in drinking water at schools and child care centers, identify the need for remediation assistance, and provide recommendations for state support in addressing lead issues. The report will also be made available on the respective websites of the DOE and DCF. This initiative is a response to previous recommendations from the Joint Legislative Task Force on Drinking Water Infrastructures.
