This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 424 now focuses specifically on testing for lead in drinking water at facilities for child care, camps, and group homes, eliminating funding options for lead remediation. It requires applicants to test all drinking water sources for lead contamination before applying for a license or certification, with stricter criteria for what constitutes safe lead levels. If contamination is found, the applicant must remove access to that water source and develop a remediation plan. This change matters because it aims to ensure safer drinking water for children in these facilities, prioritizing public health.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires child care centers, child care providers, and recreational and educational camps to test for lead in drinking water and to provide potable water if lead contamination is found in order to obtain, renew, or continue a camp or child care center license or child care provider certification and provides funding options for that testing and remediation.

- 2020 Legislature - 2 - LRB-3566/1 EHS&ZDW:kjf SENATE BILL 424 Current law also requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection or a local health department granted agent status to issue licenses to and regulate recreational and educational camps.
This bill adds as a minimum requirement for a recreational and education camp license, a group home license, a child care center license, and a child care provider certification that an applicant for an initial, continued, or renewed license or certification (applicant), with one exception, test water from every drinking water source for lead contamination in facilities used or to be used for child care, a camp, or a group home within six months before submitting the application.
This bill adds as a minimum requirement for a recreational and education camp license, a group home license, a child care center license, and a child care provider certification that an applicant for an initial, continued, or renewed license or certification (applicant) test drinking water for lead contamination in facilities used or to be used for child care, a camp, or a group home within six months before submitting the application.
The bill provides that lead contamination is a concentration of lead that is greater than the federal action level established under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
The bill provides that lead contamination is a concentration of lead that is greater than a concentration considered safe for drinking under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
Under the bill, if a test shows lead contamination, the applicant must take one of two courses of action, both of which require the applicant to immediately eliminate all access to water from the contaminated drinking water source.
Under the bill, if a test shows lead contamination, the applicant must establish and carry out a plan for remediating the lead contamination, continue testing the water until a test shows no lead contamination, provide safe drinking water to the facility until the contamination is remediated, and provide proof in its application that the applicant has complied with these requirements.
Under the first option, the applicant must make a plan to remediate the lead contamination and provide potable water in the interim.
At six-month intervals following the issuance, renewal, or continuation of the license or certification, the applicant must demonstrate to the appropriate licensing or certifying authority that it remains in compliance with these requirements until a test result shows no lead contamination.
The applicant must provide the plan and proof of the applicant's compliance with these requirements to the licensing or certification authority.
Under the bill, if an applicant submits with an application for an initial, renewal, or continuation license a drinking water test showing lead levels are not higher than one part per billion, the applicant need not submit further tests with future applications to renew or continue the license.
If the applicant submits with a subsequent application a test result showing no lead contamination in a drinking water source, the applicant is exempt from testing and reporting requirements with respect to that source.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
If the applicant submits a test result showing no lead contamination in a drinking water source before a subsequent application is due, the applicant is exempt from further requirements under this first option but must submit one more test showing no lead contamination at the time the next application is due.
If the applicant submits a test result showing lead levels not higher than 5 parts per billion in a drinking water source before a subsequent application is due, the applicant is exempt from all further testing requirements.
Under the second option, the applicant must make a plan for providing on a permanent basis an adequate supply of potable water from external sources and ensuring that children served on the premises do not consume water from contaminated drinking water sources.
This option also requires the applicant to provide the plan and proof of the applicant's compliance with these requirements to the licensing or certification authority, but no further testing is necessary.
The bill authorizes an applicant who has previously complied with this option, when it submits a subsequent application, to switch to the first option or to submit a new test LRBs0126/1 - 2020 Legislature - 3 - EHS&ZDW:kjf&skw result showing each drinking water source to have no lead contamination, in which case the applicant is exempt from all testing and reporting requirements.
Under the bill, a child care provider applying for Wisconsin Shares certification may, as an alternative to the testing requirement, conduct a plumbing assessment and submit documentation of the assessment with its application.
Under the bill, a plumbing assessment is an assessment completed by a licensed plumber, environmental consultant, certified lead risk assessor, or certified lead hazard investigator that includes, at a minimum, a determination of the year in which the building was built, a review of any available utility records for the presence of a full or partial lead service line, and an inspection of interior plumbing for the presence in the building's plumbing of leaded or galvanized steel pipes or any fixtures, fittings, faucets, or valves made with alloys that contain lead, such as leaded brass (presence of lead).
If a plumbing assessment shows the presence of lead, the applicant must choose one of the two courses of action required after a test shows lead contamination.
If a plumbing assessment shows no presence of lead, the applicant is exempt from further testing and reporting requirements.
The bill specifies that remediation may include affixing a point-of-source or point-of-entry filter to a drinking water source and testing may be conducted with such a filter affixed.
The bill also specifies that remediation may include permanently disconnecting, shutting off, or otherwise eliminating access to water from a drinking water source if another drinking water source on the premises is not contaminated or will be remediated, and that after proof of such remediation is submitted to the licensing or certifying authority, the applicant is exempt from further testing requirements with respect to that drinking water source.
The bill requires DCF and DATCP, in consultation with the Department of Health Services and the Department of Natural Resources, to seek federal funding to assist, respectively, child care providers and operators of child care centers, group homes, and recreational and educational camps in paying for the costs of complying with the testing and remediation requirements, and to ensure that any funding obtained for this purpose is distributed equitably among those eligible entities.
This bill allows the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands to use school trust funds to issue loans to municipalities for the purpose of remediating lead contamination in a building used for child care, as a group home for children, or as a recreational or educational camp for children.
