2019 Senate Bill 590

Impose more water safety mandates on facilities

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 15, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Curtis VanderWall (R-35)

To require schools to develop a “drinking water safety plan” that meets detailed standards the bill would specify including filters and testing requirements, and have at least one “filtered bottle-filling station” for every 100 occupants. The bill would also authorize state grants for all this but does not specify where the money would come from.

Referred to the Committee on Environmental Quality
