Section 1464 of the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300j–24 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Administrator shall establish a program to make grants to States to assist local educational agencies in voluntary installation and maintenance of filtration stations at schools and child care programs under the jurisdiction of the local educational agencies. The Administrator may make a grant described in paragraph
(1)directly available to— any local educational agency described in clause
(i)or
(iii)of subsection (d)(1)(B) located in a State that does not participate in the program established under paragraph (1); or any local educational agency described in clause
(ii)of subsection (d)(1)(B). Grants made under the program established under this subsection may be used to pay the costs of— installation and maintenance of filtration stations at schools and child care programs; and annual testing of drinking water at such schools and child care programs following the installation of filtration stations. In making grants under the program established under this subsection, the Administrator shall give priority to States and local educational agencies that will assist in voluntary installation and maintenance of filtration stations at schools and child care programs that are in low-income areas, including low-income areas that have a history of drinking water lead contamination. In making grants under the program established under this subsection, the Administrator shall, to the greatest extent feasible, also give priority to States and local educational agencies that, in assisting with the installation and maintenance of filtration stations pursuant to this subsection, will provide job training, apprenticeships, or other employment opportunities for low-income persons and very low-income persons in the area in which the installation and maintenance takes place. Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Administrator shall establish guidance to carry out the program established under this subsection. The program established under this subsection shall not require testing for lead contamination in drinking water at schools and child care programs prior to participation in such program. In this subsection: The terms child care program and local educational agency have the meaning given such terms in subsection (d). The term filtration station means an apparatus that— is connected to building plumbing; is certified to the latest version of NSF/ANSI 53 for lead reduction and NSF/ANSI 42 for particulate reduction (Class I) by a certification body accredited by the American National Standards Institute National Accreditation Board; has an indicator to show filter performance; can fill bottles or containers for water consumption; and allows users to drink directly from a stream of flowing water. There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subsection $100,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2031. .
