The Test Water Bill
Indiana schools must test water for lead, penalties added
Testing drinking water for lead in school buildings.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, schools in Indiana would have to test their drinking water for lead by a set date and could be fined for missing the deadline.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Parents and kids will be safer because the water will be checked, and schools will be forced to act quickly or face a fine, so the bill matters now while lawmakers decide.
