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 7/28/2022 in 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.
