Establishes grant program in DOE for public schools to purchase and install point-of-use filtered bottle-filling stations and filtered faucets.

This bill (A5812) creates a New Jersey state grant program to help public schools purchase and install filtered bottle-filling stations and faucets that meet NSF standards for removing lead and contaminants. It prioritizes schools with documented water quality issues (like lead testing results) or those without existing filtered systems. The Department of Education must establish the program within 180 days, provide installation guidance, and report on grant applications and funding needs within a year. The program directly affects all public schools seeking safer drinking water infrastructure.
