Designates October as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month."

This bill designates October as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month" in New Jersey to increase public awareness about the risks and prevention of lead exposure.

It requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing the month and aims to highlight screening methods and risk reduction strategies. The bill is based on existing data showing lead exposure remains a public health concern in the state.
