What it does

This bill would require the Commissioner of Health and Mental Hygiene to create and maintain a publicly accessible database and map indicating certain buildings in which residents have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease, buildings for which cooling tower testing results indicate levels of Legionella bacteria that are hazardous to human health, and relevant years. The database and map would also have to include this information for the previous 10 years.
