AN  ACT to amend the social services law, the environmental conservation
  law and the public health law, in relation to the  protection  of  air
  quality for day care centers

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds and declares that
it shall be the policy of the state of New York to provide  every  child
with  an  environmentally safe and healthy learning environment in which
to grow, learn and mature into productive and healthy adults. To  ensure
that  day  care  facilities  provide  this setting for our children, the
legislature finds that standards for day care facilities must be protec-
tive of children's environmental health and safety. Children are unique-
ly vulnerable to and may be severely affected by exposure to  chemicals,
hazardous  wastes  and  other  environmental hazards, which affect their
learning abilities as well as create chemical-based responses and sensi-
tivities. It is the purpose of this legislation to  reduce  as  much  as
possible such exposures for children and day care facility staff.
  S  2.  Section  390-a  of the social services law is amended by adding
three new subdivisions 5, 6 and 7 to read as follows:
  5. (A) NO LICENSE SHALL BE ISSUED OR RENEWED  FOR  A  CHILD  DAY  CARE
CENTER  AS  DEFINED  IN SECTION THREE HUNDRED NINETY OF THIS TITLE, OR A
HEAD START DAY CARE CENTER FUNDED PURSUANT TO TITLE  V  OF  THE  FEDERAL
ECONOMIC  OPPORTUNITY ACT OF NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR, AS AMENDED, IF
THE BUILDING  OR  ITS  OUTDOOR  RECREATIONAL  AREA  WOULD  BE  ADVERSELY
IMPACTED  DUE  TO  ITS  PROXIMITY  TO  EXISTING  AND KNOWN ENVIRONMENTAL

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
