THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 1275. (1) Not later than October 1, 2017, if permitted

 

under federal law, the state board shall revise its model local

 

wellness policy for local education agencies to include a plan for

 

testing the water in every school for lead and other contaminants,

 

as determined by the state board, and a plan for testing indoor air

formaldehyde, VOCS, and any other substances as determined by the

 

state board. The model local wellness policy shall include a

 

description of the various sources, contaminants, or factors that

could potentially contribute to poor indoor air or water quality at

 

a school.

 

     (2) Not later than 1 year after the revision of the state

 

board model local wellness policy under subsection (1), the

 

governing board of a local education agency shall submit to the

 

department a revision of its local wellness policy that includes a

 

plan for testing the water and air in every school for the

 

contaminants specified by the state board. A local wellness policy

 

shall be consistent with the state board model local wellness

 

policy.

 

     (3) The department shall require each local education agency

 

to submit its local wellness policy to the department for review at

 

least every 5 years, or more frequently if required under federal

 

law.

 

     (4) Not later than 1 year after the effective date of this

 

section, the department, in conjunction with the department of

 

environmental quality, shall promulgate rules setting forth

 

requirements for action to be taken by a local education agency

 

when testing discloses contamination above acceptable levels.

 

     (5) As used in this section, "local education agency" means

 

that term as defined in 34 CFR 303.23.
