A 4675 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires child care centers to test for and remediate lead in drinking water, and disclose test results.

New Jersey's A4675 requires child care centers to test all drinking water outlets (like fountains and faucets) for lead every five years, using certified labs, and immediately shut off any outlets with unsafe lead levels. Centers must remediate the issue - through repairs, filters, or alternative water sources - and disclose full test results to parents, staff, and the public by posting summaries prominently. The law applies to all child care centers except those already meeting federal public water system standards for lead. This directly affects child care facilities, parents, and children by ensuring safer drinking water access.
