Establishes environmental standards for ambient lead and lead contamination
RETURNED TO SENATE
Summary
The bill orders the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, in consultation with the Department of Health, to adopt new, more protective lead standards for air, soil, dust and surfaces like floors and windowsills within 180 days. It requires the standards to be at least as stringent as federal 40 CFR Part 745 and CDC recommendations, aiming to keep blood‑lead levels low, especially for children. The law takes effect 90 days after passage and includes a one‑year sunset unless extended.
