No formal legislative proposal exists yet, but advocates, including those from the New York League of Conservation Voters and the New York Public Interest Research Group, say they are in talks with lawmakers and the governor’s office. The goal of legislation enacting a five-point action plan is not just to test for contamination but also to make testing consistent statewide.
