10A NCAC 41C .1002 - .1005

The Commission for Public Health is proposing to amend rules 10A NCAC 41C .1002-.1005. 10A NCAC 41C Section .1000 implements Session Law 2021-180, Section 9G.8, which directs the Commission for Public Health to adopt rules as necessary to implement requirements for the testing and remediation of lead in drinking water in public schools and the inspection for and abatement of asbestos and lead-based paint hazards in public schools and licensed child care facilities. The proposed amendments extend the deadline for public schools and licensed child care facilities to complete required tests and inspections from May 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
