Vermont H0542 terminates indoor air quality testing for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in schools constructed or renovated before 1980, shifting.

Vermont H0542 ends the Agency of Natural Resources' indoor air quality testing for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in public schools and approved independent schools built or renovated before 1980. It mandates the use of remaining funds for the investigation, remediation, and removal of PCBs in schools where testing indicated PCBs in excess of state action levels. The bill also requires annual reports on PCB testing status and remediation efforts, and it outlines conditions under which schools may not be required to initiate interim remedial measures for PCB exposure.
