This bill requires New Jersey’s colleges and universities to regularly test their drinking water for lead, report the results publicly, and take action to fix any problems. Institutions must test annually, using certified labs, and notify students, faculty, and staff of the findings. If lead is detected, outlets must be closed until the water meets safety standards, and buildings with lead pipes or fixtures must be identified and equipped with lead filters or treatment devices.
