Overview
This bill requires landlords of certain properties that provide child care services to install and maintain water filters if they have refused to replace lead service lines. Specifically, it mandates the use of NSF/ANSI-certified filters at fixtures used for drinking, food preparation, or baby formula. The bill also establishes penalties for non-compliance and allows tenants to seek rent escrow to ensure filter installation, with potential court orders to direct funds towards filter procurement. Finally, it prohibits retaliatory actions against tenants who raise concerns about unsafe living conditions related to lead service lines.
