New Jersey S233 revises and codifies the schedule for childhood lead screenings and requires lead screenings as a precondition of a child's initial.

New Jersey S233 strengthens the existing State requirements for childhood lead screening by codifying the existing schedule for lead screening, requiring three screenings instead of two, and allowing health care professionals to perform lead screenings at the point-of-care during a well visit. The bill mandates that every physician, registered professional nurse, or health care facility, agency, or program that is subject to the State's childhood elevated blood lead level prevention laws will perform a lead screening on each patient between six months and six years of age, during the course.
