Under current law, "elevated blood lead level" is defined to mean a level of lead in the bloodstream that equals or exceeds five micrograms per deciliter.

AI Summary
This bill revises the statutory definition of "elevated blood lead level" from a level of lead in the bloodstream that equals or exceeds 5 micrograms per deciliter to a level that equals or exceeds 3.5 micrograms per deciliter, or as otherwise identified in the most recent recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This change reflects the lower threshold at which action is necessary to address lead poisoning, which can have serious developmental and health consequences, particularly for children.
