The bill reduces the blood lead level defined as “lead poisoning or lead exposure” from 10 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood to 5 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood. The presence of lead poisoning or lead exposure in a child under six years of age allows DHS to request admission to the premises to conduct a lead investigation. DHS also awards grants for lead poisoning or lead exposure prevention and may promulgate rules specifying lead poisoning or lead exposure screening methods and intervals for children under six years of age.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 254.11 (9) of the statutes is amended to read:
254.11 (9) “Lead poisoning or lead exposure" means a level of lead in the blood of 10 5 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood.
