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 institutions of higher education to test every drinking water outlet (like fountains and faucets) for lead annually, beginning 90 days after the law takes effect. Institutions must report results to state education and environmental officials, post findings online, and notify students/faculty within 30 days of testing. If lead levels exceed EPA or state standards, schools must immediately close affected outlets, provide alternative water, and install certified lead-removing filters or treatment devices in all buildings containing lead pipes or fixtures. The law mandates these filters be maintained per manufacturer guidelines to ensure ongoing safety.
