1997 SESSION
SB 828 Disease reporting.
Introduced by: Benjamin J. Lambert III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Disease reporting. Authorizes physicians, laboratory directors, health care facilities, schools, and summer camps to report voluntarily additional information at the request of the Department of Health for special surveillance or other epidemiological studies. This bill will authorize the Department's lead prevention program to collect data from blood-lead-level testing of children whose test results do not rise to the level of a reportable disease, thereby providing the Department with data to track prevalence rates and more accurately determine lead-poisoning incidence in Virginia. Not only will such prevalence rates be useful to the medical community, this data will be useful to the real estate industry because of the recently implemented federal disclosure requirements and to the Department of Housing and Community Development in the implementation of its federal grant. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Abatement of Lead-Based Paint.
