Section 32060 Of Article 6. Toxic Art Supplies In Schools From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 19. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 6.
32060
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that art supplies
which contain toxic substances or which are potential human
carcinogens pose a significant danger to the health and safety of
school children. The Legislature also finds and declares that school
children are not sufficiently protected by present health laws in so
far as materials which may be seriously harmful are not so labeled
and therefore children are not properly warned as to the dangers
inherent in the use of those materials.
(b) The Legislature intends by this article to ensure that
elementary school children are protected by prohibiting the sale of
these toxic substances to schools, school districts, and private
schools for use in kindergarten and grades 1 to 6, inclusive, and
that the toxic substances may be purchased by schools, school
districts, and private schools for students in grades 7 to 12,
inclusive, only if the materials are properly labeled, as described
in Section 32064.
