Requires institutions of higher education to test for lead in drinking water annually, report test results, and install lead filters or treatment devices.

This bill requires all New Jersey colleges and universities to test every drinking water source (like fountains and faucets) for lead annually, starting within 90 days of the law taking effect. Institutions must report results to state officials, post them publicly online, and notify students and staff if lead levels exceed safety standards set by federal or state agencies. If lead is detected above safe levels, schools must immediately close affected outlets, provide alternative drinking water, and install certified lead-removing filters or treatment devices on all outlets in buildings containing lead pipes, solder, or fixtures. These filters must be maintained per manufacturer guidelines to ensure ongoing safety.
