Early intervention services for children with lead in their blood
Under current law, DHS implements a statewide program, referred to as the Birth to 3 program, that provides early intervention services for children aged three and under who are developmentally delayed or are diagnosed as having a condition that is likely to result in significantly delayed development. This bill ensures that children with a concentration of lead in their blood of at least 5 micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood are eligible for services under the Birth to 3 program.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 51.44 (5) (bm) of the statutes is created to read:
51.44 (5) (bm) Ensure that any child with a level of lead in his or her blood that is 5 or more micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood, as confirmed by one venous blood test, is eligible for services under the program under this section.
