    Sec. 4011. Findings and purpose

-STATUTE-
    (a) Findings
      The Congress finds that - 
        (1) exposure to asbestos fibers has been identified over a long
      period of time and by reputable medical and scientific evidence
      as significantly increasing the incidence of cancer and other
      severe or fatal diseases, such as asbestosis;
        (2) medical evidence has suggested that children may be
      particularly vulnerable to environmentally induced cancers;
        (3) medical science has not established any minimum level of
      exposure to asbestos fibers which is considered to be safe to
      individuals exposed to the fibers;
        (4) substantial amounts of asbestos, particularly in sprayed
      form, have been used in school buildings, especially during the
      period 1946 through 1972;
        (5) partial surveys in some States have indicated that (A) in a
      number of school buildings materials containing asbestos fibers
      have become damaged or friable, causing asbestos fibers to be
      dislodged into the air, and (B) asbestos concentration far
      exceeding normal ambient air levels have been found in school
      buildings containing such damaged materials;
        (6) the presence in school buildings of friable or easily
      damaged asbestos creates an unwarranted hazard to the health of
      the school children and school employees who are exposed to such
      materials;
        (7) the Department of Health and Human Services and the
      Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several States, have
      attempted to publicize the potential hazards to school children
      and employees from exposure to asbestos fibers, but there is no
      systematic program for remedying hazardous conditions in schools;
        (8) because there is no Federal health standard regulating the
      concentration of asbestos fibers in noncommercial workplace
      environments such as schools, school employees and students may
      be exposed to hazardous concentrations of asbestos fibers in the
      school buildings which they use each day;
        (9) without a program of information distribution, technical
      and scientific assistance, and financial support, many local
      educational agencies and States will not be able to mitigate the
      potential asbestos hazards in their schools; and
        (10) the effective regulation of interstate commerce for the
      protection of the public health requires the establishment of
      programs under this subchapter to mitigate hazards from exposure
      to asbestos fibers and materials emitting such fibers.
    (b) Purpose
      It is the purpose of this subchapter to - 
        (1) direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection
      Agency to establish a program to assist States and local
      educational agencies to ascertain the extent of the danger to the
      health of school children and employees from asbestos materials
      in schools;
        (2) provide continuing scientific and technical assistance to
      State and local agencies to enable them to identify and abate
      asbestos hazards in schools;
        (3) provide financial assistance for the abatement of asbestos
      threats to the health and safety of school children or employees;
      and
        (4) assure that no employee of any local educational agency
      suffers any disciplinary action as a result of calling attention
      to potential asbestos hazards which may exist in schools.

                           FINDINGS AND PURPOSES                       
      Section 2 of Pub. L. 101-637 provided that:
      "(a) Findings. - Congress finds the following:
        "(1) The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that
      more than forty-four thousand school buildings contain friable
      asbestos, exposing more than fifteen million school children and
      one million five hundred thousand school employees to unwarranted
      health hazards.
        "(2) All elementary and secondary schools are required by the
      Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act [of 1986, see Short Title
      of 1986 Amendment note set out under section 2601 of Title 15,
      Commerce and Trade] to inspect for asbestos, develop an asbestos
      management plan, and implement such plan.
        "(3) The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated it will
      cost local education agencies more than $3,000,000,000 to comply
      with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act.
        "(4) Without a continuing program of information assistance,
      technical and scientific assistance, training, and financial
      support, many local educational agencies will be unable to carry
      out sufficient response actions to prevent the release of
      asbestos fibers into the air.
        "(5) Without the provisions of sufficient financial support,
      the cost to local educational agencies of implementing asbestos
      response actions may have an adverse impact in their educational
      mission.
        "(6) The effective regulation of interstate commerce for the
      protection of human health and the environment requires the
      continuation of programs to mitigate hazards of asbestos fibers
      and materials emitting such fibers.
      "(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this Act [see Short Title of
    1990 Amendment note above] are the following:
        "(1) To direct the Environmental Protection Agency to maintain
      a program to assist local schools in carrying out their
      responsibilities under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response
      Act.
        "(2) To provide continuing scientific and technical assistance
      to State and local agencies to enable them to identify and abate
      asbestos health hazards.
        "(3) To provide financial assistance to State and local
      agencies for training of persons involved with inspections and
      abatement of asbestos, for conducting necessary reinspections of
      school buildings, and for the actual abatement of asbestos
      threats to the health and safety of school children or employees.
        "(4) To assure that no employee of a local educational agency
      suffers any disciplinary action as a result of calling attention
      to potential asbestos hazards which may exist in schools."

      It shall be unlawful for any public secondary school which
    receives Federal financial assistance and which has a limited open
    forum to deny equal access or a fair opportunity to, or

    political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such
    meetings.
    (b) "Limited open forum" defined
      A public secondary school has a limited open forum whenever such
    school grants an offering to or opportunity for one or more
    noncurriculum related student groups to meet on school premises
    during noninstructional time.
    (c) Fair opportunity criteria
      Schools shall be deemed to offer a fair opportunity to students

      meeting if the content of the speech at the meeting is contrary
      to the beliefs of the agent or employee;
        (5) to sanction meetings that are otherwise unlawful;
        (6) to limit the rights of groups of students which are not of
      a specified numerical size; or

    deny or withhold Federal financial assistance to any school.
    (f) Authority of schools with respect to order, discipline, well-
      being, and attendance concerns
