S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1212 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 10, 2023 ___________ Introduced by Sens. CLEARE, KRUEGER, MANNION, MAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT directing the departments of environmental conservation and health to establish environmental standards for ambient lead and lead contamination in soils; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that there is a present need to establish New York standards with respect to levels of ambient lead and levels of lead contamination in soils and on floors and window sills. The legislature finds that the current regulatory standards are inadequate to protect the general public and particularly small children from the harmful effects of ingesting or inhaling lead dust, often resulting from lead paint, and coming into contact with lead on exposed surfaces. The legislature declares that it shall be the responsibility of the commissioner of environmental conservation, in consultation with the commissioner of health, to adopt standards for ambient lead and lead contamination of soil and windows and floors, in a manner that would be fully protective of children's health, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the environmental conservation law. § 2. a. No later than March 31, 2024, the departments of environmental conservation and health shall propose new standards, and update any existing standards as appropriate, for dust lead hazards, soil-lead hazards and ambient air quality standards for the level of lead in vari- ous media that will result in blood lead levels that are no higher than a target that is fully protective of human health and which at a minimum include consideration of recommendations from the centers for disease control. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04790-01-3
