AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize childhood lead poisoning prevention in Massachusetts. It does this by: 1. Defining a "blood lead level of concern" as a lead concentration in a child under 6 that is less than the amount defined as lead poisoning. 2. Defining "lead poisoning" as a medical condition in a child under 6 with a lead concentration in blood above a specific regulatory limit. 3. Requiring the Department of Public Health to perform surveillance and outreach to identify children with a blood lead level of concern and provide them with appropriate case management services. 4. Increasing the maximum amounts for certain tax credits and fines related to lead abatement and inspections to incentivize more lead-safe work. The bill aims to expand the state's efforts to identify and address childhood lead exposure, even at lower levels, in order to better protect children's health.
