HB 5368 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Health: children; reporting requirements for blood lead levels for minors; modify, and update certain definitions. Amends sec. 5474 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5474) & adds sec. 5456a.

This bill updates Michigan's public health code to clarify definitions and reporting requirements related to elevated blood lead levels in children. It establishes specific thresholds for what constitutes an elevated level, requiring that a child's blood lead concentration meet or exceed 3.5 micrograms per deciliter or the current reference value set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The legislation also creates a new role for certified "EBL investigators" who must study a child's living environment to identify lead sources and provide reports on how to remove those exposures. Additionally, the bill defines terms such as emergency renovation operations and encapsulation to ensure consistency in how lead hazards are managed. The law will only take effect if a separate, related bill is also passed into law.
