SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Study; facilitating communication and cooperation on blood-lead testing issues; report. Requests the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services and the Secretary of Health and Human Resources to establish a task force to evaluate relevant agencies' processes, forms, guidance letters, etc. that could be revised or standardized to (i) improve providers' understanding of when to submit samples to the Division for testing; (ii) avoid inappropriate funding of tests; and (iii) document for federal authorities the efficiency of the blood-lead testing component of Lead-Safe Virginia. The purpose of the taskforce will be to establish a consistent approach to the processes and communications relating to blood-lead testing. The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services and the Secretary of Health and Human Resources may view this collaboration as a pilot study to determine if other collaboration on processes, communications and forms would benefit all involved parties. This resolution is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Lead-Poisoning Prevention.
