February 13, 2018

An act to amend Section 105295 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to lead poisoning.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1097, as amended, Hueso. Lead poisoning.

Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to collect and analyze all information necessary to effectively monitor appropriate case management efforts related to lead poisoning in children. Existing law authorizes the department to contract with a public or private entity, including local agencies, to conduct case management. Existing law requires the department to prepare a biennial report describing the effectiveness of appropriate case management efforts, and to make that report available to local health departments and the general public.

This bill would require the report to contain specified information for each county, including the number of children tested for lead poisoning. The bill would require the department to post the report on the department’s Internet Web site. The bill would additionally require the department to provide the collected data to its Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, as specified.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 105295 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by SB 1041 to be operative only if this bill and SB 1041 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
