Bill Summary
For legislation to modernize childhood lead poisoning prevention. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize childhood lead poisoning prevention in Massachusetts. It redefines the term "lead poisoning" to have a lower threshold concentration of lead in whole venous blood, and introduces the concept of a "blood lead level of concern" to identify and offer case management services to children with elevated but not necessarily poisonous lead levels. The bill also increases tax credits and penalties related to lead inspections and remediation, in order to incentivize proactive lead hazard reduction. The key provisions of the bill will take effect on January 1, 2024 and July 1, 2024.
