MI HB4342

Each child care center must post conspicuous signs near water outlets and drinking fountains indicating whether water is intended for human consumption, and if unfiltered, must state the water is unfiltered and could contain lead.

Child care centers must ensure all water furnished to children for human consumption comes from filtered sources certified to NSF/ANSI standard 53 for lead reduction and standard 42 for particulate removal, or from a water delivery service, within 2 years of the effective date.

Child care centers must make available to the public and notify parents of water testing results and filter replacement dates for all filtered water sources.

Child care centers located in school buildings that comply with the clean drinking water access act are considered compliant with these requirements.

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, in coordination with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, must provide templates, guidance documents, and training on filter maintenance and water sampling; all staff responsible for children's drinking water access must complete training within 2 years and every 5 years thereafter.
