Children: health; referral of certain children with elevated blood lead levels to the Early On program administered by the department of lifelong education, advancement, and potential; require. Amends sec. 5474 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5474).

This bill requires Michigan's health department to refer children under three years old with elevated blood lead levels to the Early On program, which supports early childhood development. The law mandates that when a child's blood lead level exceeds 10 micrograms per deciliter, the department must notify local health officials or the child's doctor to facilitate this referral. Additionally, the bill maintains existing requirements for the state to run a lead poisoning prevention program, including educational outreach and technical assistance for healthcare providers. The health department must also submit annual reports to the legislature detailing the number of children screened, those with confirmed high lead levels, and how program funds were spent.
