2018 Conservation Scorecard

This budget amendment would have provided additional funding for a public school lead testing grant program that was established in last year’s legislative session. Lead can leach into drinking water from old pipes and fixtures, and is especially damaging to children. Testing for lead is critical for safeguarding our children’s health and protecting our drinking water. Of note, it is tradition that members of the Joint Budget Committee — including Senators Moreno, Lambert, and Lundberg — do not vote in favor of budget amendments regardless of their content.
