This bill mandates the establishment of online reporting systems by the Department of Education (DOE) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for schools and child care centers to electronically report lead testing results in drinking water. Within one year of the bill's effective date, the DOE must create a system for schools to submit their lead test results, and within 90 days of this system's launch, schools required to test for lead since July 1, 2016, must submit or resubmit their results. Similarly, the DCF is tasked with creating a reporting system for child care centers, which must submit their results within 90 days of the system's establishment if they were required to test since January 1, 2017. Both departments are required to compile and make 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 detailing the extent of lead contamination in drinking water at schools and child care centers, the need for remediation assistance, and recommendations for state support in addressing lead issues. This initiative aims to create a centralized database for lead testing results, enhancing public awareness and enabling policymakers to analyze the data for potential remedial actions. The bill is a response to recommendations from the Joint Legislative Task Force on Drinking Water Infrastructures, emphasizing the importance of transparency and public health in relation to lead contamination.
