What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill reduces the blood lead level at which the Department of Health Services is required to conduct a lead investigation. Under the bill, DHS must conduct a lead investigation, including water testing and testing for lead-based paint hazards, when the department is notified that an occupant of a dwelling or premises who is under six years of age has a level of lead in the blood of five or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood. Current law allows DHS to request admission to a dwelling or premises to conduct a lead investigation when the department is notified that an occupant of a dwelling or premises who is under six years of age has a level of lead in the blood of ten or more micrograms per 1000 milliliters of blood, and requires DHS to conduct a lead investigation if the level of lead is either 20 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood, as confirmed by one venous blood test, or 15 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood, as confirmed by two venous blood tests that are performed at least 90 days apart.
This bill also provides funding to pay for the cost of the testing required by the bill.
