  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
stringent  controls  on  the  amount of lead in jewelry are necessary to
protect public health,  especially  the  health  of  children.    Random
samples  of  jewelry  in New York state have been found to contain up to
60,000 parts per million of lead. To assure  consistent  application  of
these controls to all jewelry, specific technical standards and controls
must be specified.
  §  2.  The  environmental  conservation law is amended by adding a new
section 37-0115 to read as follows:
§ 37-0115. LEAD-CONTAINING JEWELRY.
  FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION,  THE  FOLLOWING  TERMS  SHALL  HAVE  THE
FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS:
  1.  "BODY PIERCING JEWELRY" MEANS ANY PART OF JEWELRY THAT IS MANUFAC-
TURED OR SOLD FOR PLACEMENT IN A NEW PIERCING OR A MUCOUS MEMBRANE,  BUT
DOES  NOT  INCLUDE  ANY PART OF THAT JEWELRY THAT IS NOT PLACED WITHIN A
NEW PIERCING OR A MUCOUS MEMBRANE.
  2. "CHILDREN" MEANS CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF TWELVE.
  3. "CHILDREN'S JEWELRY" MEANS JEWELRY THAT IS MADE FOR,  MARKETED  FOR
USE  BY, OR MARKETED TO, CHILDREN AND INCLUDES JEWELRY THAT MEETS ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
  (A) REPRESENTED IN ITS PACKAGING, DISPLAY, OR ADVERTISING,  AS  APPRO-
PRIATE FOR USE BY CHILDREN.
  (B)  SOLD  IN CONJUNCTION WITH, ATTACHED TO, OR PACKAGED TOGETHER WITH
OTHER PRODUCTS THAT ARE PACKAGED, DISPLAYED, OR ADVERTISED AS  APPROPRI-
ATE FOR USE BY CHILDREN.
