An Act relative to environmental public health

This bill creates a new state fund called the United Neighbor's Investing in the Truth for Youth Fund to support environmental public health efforts in Massachusetts. The fund, which is managed by the Department of Public Health, will finance cancer surveillance, environmental data collection, and research into how past and current environmental conditions affect human health. Money for the fund can come from state appropriations, private donations, transfers, or recovered costs from hazardous waste investigations, and any interest earned stays within the fund. The bill also requires that all research and surveillance results be published online and that the department provide annual spending reports to the legislature.
