What it does

The Iowa department of public health currently organizes a childhood lead poisoning prevention program. The program does not include testing water systems for lead in child care facilities, child care homes, and schools. This bill requires all child care facilities and all school districts to implement lead testing in their water systems on an annual basis beginning no later than December 31, 2019. The bill requires the department to work with the department of education and the department of human services to implement rules to carry out the lead-testing requirements.
