New York S06105 amends the definition of elevated blood lead levels and mandates healthcare providers to inform pregnant people about lead prevention.
New York S06105 amends the public health law to redefine "elevated lead levels" as a blood lead level greater than or equal to 3.5 micrograms per deciliter of whole blood. The Department of Health must adopt regulations within 90 days to implement this definition in its lead poisoning prevention program. The bill also requires healthcare providers to offer guidance on lead prevention measures and information about lead sources in the community during prenatal appointments. This act takes effect immediately.
