Green Cleaning Our Schools

I was alerted to day of another bill working its way through the Legislature. This bill HB895 and is named the Green Cleaming Schools Act.


          

Section 10. Use of green cleaning supplies. By no later than 90 days after implementation of the guidelines and specifications established under Section 15 of this Act, all elementary and secondary public and non-public schools shall establish a green cleaning policy and exclusively purchase and use environmentally-sensitive cleaning products pursuant to the guidelines and specifications established under Section 15 this Act. However, a school may deplete its existing cleaning and maintenance supply stocks and implement the new requirements in the procurement cycle for the following school year.

This is just another bill that should not be passed. Why can’t legislators work on more important budget issues instead of trying to force all schools to buy certain products? Please contact your legislator and encourage them to vote NO on this unneccessary act.

Don’t forget to review the other education related legislative items in the works as well.
