AI Summary
This bill modernizes childhood lead poisoning prevention in Massachusetts. It defines a "blood lead level of concern" as a concentration of lead in whole venous blood in a child under 6 that is less than the amount defined as lead poisoning. The bill requires the Department of Public Health to perform surveillance and outreach to identify children with a blood lead level of concern and offer them appropriate case management services. It also increases the tax credit amounts for lead paint abatement and inspection work, and raises the maximum civil penalties for housing discrimination based on lead paint violations.
