Water lead test: Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed on 2/2/22 accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1.CCP. LPA referred the director to the Department website for lead: Lead Toxicity Prevention and Water Testing Information. Beginning January 1, 2019 AB2370 requires licensed homes and centers to share information on the risks and effects of lead exposure with enrolling and re-enrolling families.
