Health: children; definition of elevated blood lead level; modify. Amends sec. 5456 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5456).

Summary

The bill revises the definition of “elevated blood level” in the state’s public health code, establishing specific concentration limits for lead exposure. It sets a 20 µg/dL single‑test threshold, a 15‑19 µg/dL range for two tests spaced 3‑4 months apart, and a 10 µg/dL limit for children six years old or younger, plus additional criteria tied to CDC reference values. The change is meant to clarify when lead exposure triggers abatement or case‑management actions.
