COOK, FARRELL, GLICK, HOOPER, JOHN, KOON, LIFTON, SWEENEY, WEINSTEIN, WEISENBERG -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to parental access to information relating to school operation and maintenance THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that the quality of the school environment is important to the health of our children and the adults who work with them. Children and young adults spend a significant portion of their lives in school buildings. The legislature also finds that although all students and adults can be vulnerable when exposed to certain substances, young children especially have been shown to be generally more sensitive because of their small body size, immature immune systems, and higher rate of growth. The legislature also finds that information on the operation and maintenance of school buildings and grounds may not be readily available, easily accessible, or copied at a reasonable cost. Therefore, the legislature finds that it is reasonable for members of the public, such as parents and guardians, to have ready access to basic information on the substances and activities used to operate and maintain school buildings and school grounds. S 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 409-j to read as follows: S 409-J. ACCESS TO SCHOOL HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION. 1. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE STATE, SERVING STUDENTS AT ANY LEVEL FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE. 2. EVERY SCHOOL OR INSTITUTION SET FORTH IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION SHALL MAINTAIN AND MAKE AVAILABLE, IN A LOCATION EASILY ACCESSI- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
