AN ACT to amend the social services law and the environmental  conserva-
  tion  law,  in  relation  to  integrated pest management procedures in
  child day care center and head start day care center settings

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

  Section  1.  Legislative  findings.  The legislature hereby finds that
young children, including those in day care and head start centers,  are
at  a  disproportionate  risk to environmental hazards such as pesticide
exposure. Due to their smaller body size, developing organ  systems  and
predilection for hand-to-mouth behaviors, they are exposed to and absorb
more  toxic  substances  per pound of body weight than adults. Therefore
the legislature finds that special protective measures, like  integrated
pest management programs, are necessary.
  S  2.  Section  390-a  of the social services law is amended by adding
five new subdivisions 3-a, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to read as follows:
  3-A. THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL PROMULGATE REGU-
LATIONS REQUIRING OPERATORS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND ASSISTANTS
OF CHILD DAY CARE CENTERS AND HEAD START DAY CARE CENTERS TO RECEIVE TWO
HOURS OF TRAINING EVERY TWO YEARS, IN ADDITION TO THE TRAINING  REQUIRED
PURSUANT  TO  SUBDIVISION  THREE  OF  THIS SECTION, ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND
SAFETY MEASURES, INCLUDING  INTEGRATED  PEST  MANAGEMENT  PROCEDURES  AS
DEFINED  IN  SUBDIVISION  FIFTY  OF SECTION 33-0101 OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSERVATION LAW AND  OTHER  METHODS  FOR  LIMITING  EXPOSURE  TO  TOXIC
SUBSTANCES.
  6.  ALL  PROVIDERS  OF  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 OPPORTUNITY ACT OF NINETEEN

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD05830-01-5
