Hi Tara, this is a great bill you have chosen
to discuss. Children are a vulnerable
population and exposure to chemicals can

lead to long term consequences. The OCHP
is advocating for the younger populations
in their communities to ensure their health
and safety. I am a parent as well so I think
this is great step towards keeping our kids
safe. A couple of park's in my community
were shut down after high levels of arsenic
were found in the soil. I am not aware of
how often the soil is tested but it was very
concerning to me as I used to go to these
parks when I was a kid. So it is important
that there are organizations on a larger
scale that ensuring the children are safe
within their communities regardless of
where they live, play or attend school.

I agree with you that this type of legislation
in an important step to protect our children
from exposure to harmful chemicals. I
know that my son was screened for lead
before he started school so the
pediatricians appear to be doing their part
where I live and thankfully everythign was
normal. This makes me think of the water
crisis reported in Flint, Michigan and how
that level of contamination with such
severe health hazards was allowed to
happen without appropriate government
action to correct it. In the future I hope
programs similar to the executive action
signed by President Clinton are more

widespread and more effective in
protecting citizens.

Tara,
I agree with you that legislation is heading
in the right direction. The health of children
is most important. The public should be
aware of any potential risks. It is critical for
legislation to reduce any exposures or
prevent them. Great read, stay safe.

In researching a legislative bill, it has been
found the Families First Coronavirus

Public Law 116-127 in the
website is a law which explains how the
“employers need to provide their
employees with paid sick leave or
expanded family and medical leave for
specified reasons related to Covid-19”.
(April,2020). This act helps the employees
to be protected, receive income while they
have to stay home to care for their
children.
This act helps employees receive an
income and obtain a financial protection.
