Summary
The bill stops the Agency of Natural Resources from conducting new indoor‑air PCB testing in public and approved independent schools built or renovated before 1980. It still requires the state to pay for investigation, remediation, and removal of PCBs in schools where earlier testing showed levels above state action thresholds. The measure also creates reporting requirements and a remediation plan to shift focus from testing to cleanup.
