SECTION 1.
Section 116385 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
116385.
(a) A person operating a public water system shall obtain and provide at that person’s expense an analysis of the water to the state board, in the form, covering those matters, and at intervals as the state board by regulation may prescribe. The analysis shall be performed by a laboratory duly certified by the state board.
(b) (1) The person shall include samples from schools, day care facilities, and health care facilities, to the extent that these locations are within the public water system.
(2) This subdivision does not require an increase in the number of samples a person collects.
(c) (1) The person shall report to the state board the date and results of any sampling at a school, day care facility, and health care facility, and where relevant, the contents of any notice issued to the school or day care facility, students, or parents, and any notices to the health care facility, and any followup action taken to mitigate contamination.
(2) The person operating a public water system shall report to the state board, in a format and on a frequency determined by the state board, a list of the public and private schools serving kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to which the public water system provides water. The state board may also require a person operating a public water system to identify other facilities that serve populations, such as young children, that may be sensitive to drinking water contamination and to which the public water system provides water.
(3) The state board shall post the information contained in paragraph (1)
and information it receives from the State Department of Education pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 52060 of the Education Code
to its Internet Web site in a manner that is searchable by school and school district. The state board shall also include a link to the public water system’s most recent consumer confidence report.
SEC. 3.
No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution for certain costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district because, in that regard, this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
However, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains other costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
SEC. 2.
No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

Summary: Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, governs drinking water quality and requires the State Water Resources Control Board
(state board)
to ensure that all public water systems are operated in compliance with the act. The act requires a person operating a public water system to obtain and provide an analysis of the water to the state board, as provided. Under the act, a person who knowingly makes a false statement or representation in a report submitted, maintained, or used for purposes of compliance with the act may be subject to a misdemeanor.
This bill would require the person to include in the analysis samples from schools, day care facilities, and health care facilities, to the extent those locations are within the public water system. The bill would require the person to report to the state board other information regarding the samples taken at those sites. The bill would require the state board to post this information on its Internet Web site, as provided. The bill would also require the person to report to the state board the public and private schools to which the public water system provides water. Because a misstatement in these reports could be a crime under the provision described above, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by expanding the scope of a crime.
Existing law requires the governing board of each school district to adopt a local control and accountability plan as provided and to annually update this plan. Existing law requires the plan to include certain elements.
This bill would require the plan to also include an assessment of the water access points at each school in the school district, including the number, location, and whether the access points are in good condition, among other things. The bill would require the governing board of the school district to report progress on addressing any deficiencies in its annual update to the local control accountability plan. By imposing new duties on the governing board of a school district, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Department of Education to share this information with the state board, for the board to post on its Internet Web site.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
