§  1110. School potable water testing and standards. 1. In addition to   school districts already classified as a public water system under parts   141 and 142 of title 40 of the code  of  federal  regulations,  as  such   regulations  may,  from  time to time, be amended, every school district   and board of cooperative educational  services  shall  conduct  periodic   first-drawn  tap  testing  of  potable water systems to monitor for lead   contamination in each occupied school building under its jurisdiction as   required by  regulations  promulgated  pursuant  to  this  section.  The   testing  shall  be  conducted  and  the results analyzed by an entity or   entities approved by the commissioner.2. Where a finding of lead contamination is made, the affected  school   district  shall:  (a) continue first-drawn tap water testing pursuant to   regulations promulgated pursuant to this  section;  (b)  provide  school   occupants with an adequate supply of safe, potable water for drinking as   required  by  rules and regulations of the department until future tests   indicate lead levels pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  pursuant  to   this section; and (c) provide parents or persons in parental relation to   a  child attending said school with written notification of test results   as well as posting such test results on the school district's website.3. First-drawn tap testing shall not be required for school  buildings   that  have  been  deemed  "lead-free"  as defined by section 1417 of the   federal safe drinking water act.4.  The  commissioner,  in  consultation  with  the  commissioner   of   education,  shall  promulgate regulations to carry out the provisions of   this  section.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  law  to  the   contrary,  the  regulations promulgated with regard to lead levels shall   be  consistent  with  the  requirements  for  those   school   districts   classified  as a public water system under parts 141 and 142 of title 40   of the code of federal regulations as such regulations may, from time to   time, be amended.5. The commissioner may grant a waiver from the  testing  requirements   of  this section for certain school buildings, provided that, the school   district has substantially complied with the  testing  requirements  and   has  been  found  to  be  below lead levels as determined by regulations   promulgated pursuant to this section for such buildings.6. Each school district and board of cooperative educational  services   conducting  testing pursuant to subdivision one of this section and each   school district classified as a public water system under parts 141  and   142  of title 40 of the code of federal regulations, as such regulations   may, from time to time, be amended, shall make a copy of the results  of   all  such testing and any lead remediation plans available to the public   on its website and any additional means as chosen by  such  district.  A   copy of the results of all testing shall also be immediately transmitted   to  the  department  and  state  education  department in a format to be   determined by the commissioner and to the county department of health in   the local jurisdiction of  the  school  building.  The  commissioner  of   education,  in conjunction with the commissioner, shall publish a report   biennially based on the findings from the tap  water  testing  conducted   according  to  the provisions of this section. Such report shall be sent   to the commissioner,  the  governor,  the  temporary  president  of  the   senate,  and  the speaker of the assembly and shall be made available on   the department's and state education department's websites.
