Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act
-
In 2022, Missouri Legislation took a step to reduce lead exposure in children by passing the Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act (RSMo 160.077) which sets standards for lead concentrations in school drinking water. This Act requires schools to conduct inventory, sampling, remediation, and monitoring of all potable drinking water outlets used or potentially being used for drinking, food preparation, and cooking or cleaning utensils.
