S 1005 (Ruiz) NJEA supports developing effective ways to protect students, staff, and community members from the dangers of lead exposure. This bill provides an important mechanism to hold those accountable for spreading this toxic chemical which is linked to poor developmental outcomes in children. This bill also provides a means for consumers to recover resources/costs which would help with lead mitigation efforts. Taking this step will go a long way towards improving the health and safety of children.
NJEA supports S 1005 and encourages you to do the same.
