SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Testing for elevated blood lead levels. Requires the Board of Health to promulgate emergency regulations establishing a protocol for the identification of children at risk for elevated blood-lead levels. Effective July 1, 2001, the Commonwealth will require testing of children for elevated blood-lead levels or determinations that the children are at low risk for lead poisoning pursuant to Board regulations. These requirements will not apply to any child whose parent, guardian or other person having control or charge of such child objects to such testing on the grounds that the procedure conflicts with his religious tenets or practices. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Lead Poison Prevention.
