Summary

Transparent Environment in School Testing for Lead Act or the TEST for Lead Act This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to: (1) allow funds from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to be used to train school personnel on issues relating to lead contamination in drinking water and to assist in lead remediation efforts, and (2) condition a state's receipt of funding from such Fund on the state establishing a program to test for lead in school drinking water. Program requirements include testing water from: (1) faucets used for food preparation, (2) sinks in bathrooms, and (3) drinking water coolers. Testing must be conducted at least biannually at schools built prior to 1996 and at least annually at schools built in 1996 or after. Additionally, local education agencies must notify parents or guardians, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state in which they are located, the local municipal government, and local health agencies within 48 hours if a level of lead exceeds the EPA's lead action level.
