A package of bills aimed at protecting New Yorkers from lead poisoning was approved by the City Council on Wednesday — including a measure expanding mandatory lead testing to sites children frequently visit.

“This is going to make a very big difference in the lives of many, many, many children who are not going to be poisoned now because of what we’re doing,” said Council Speaker Corey Johnson.

“We are now going to have the strongest lead laws in the United States of America.”

Council members said the 10 bills will boost regulations for inspecting lead in public and private housing, drinking water, soil and day care centers. They’re partly in response to the New York City Housing Authority’s longtime failure to address potential lead hazards at its complexes.

One of the bills, by Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Queens), will require the Department of Health to inspect sites where children diagnosed with elevated blood levels spend at least 10 hours a week.

The bill expands these mandatory inspections beyond the child’s home to cover places like a grandparent’s home or a day care center. Hazards found would have to be fixed within three weeks.

Another bill by Councilman Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) will require lead testing in water to be drawn from “first-draw samples” to get a better read.

Borelli said city schools have been able to duck failing grades for many years by allowing drinking water to run — and any lead to flush out — for up to two hours before testing.

Olivia Lapeyrolerie, a spokesman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, said he plans to sign the bills into law.

“We’ve reduced childhood lead exposure by 90 percent, but we refuse to rest there,” she said. “We will continue to work closely with Council to protect our kids.”
