Bill Summary

For legislation relative to childhood lead poisoning prevention. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen the prevention of childhood lead poisoning in Massachusetts. It redefines "blood lead level of concern" to reflect the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) determination that there is no safe blood lead level, especially for children under six. The bill also provides a clear definition of "lead poisoning" as a blood lead level of 5 micrograms per deciliter or greater, which can be lowered by the Department of Public Health through regulation. Additionally, the bill requires the department to conduct public health surveillance and outreach to identify children with concerning blood lead levels and offer them appropriate case management services.
