S 918 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to lead testing of children participating in the WIC program

This bill requires the state health department to mandate lead testing for all children enrolled in New York's WIC program (Women, Infants, and Children). It directs the department to set specific testing intervals and methods, applying to children participating under federal WIC guidelines. Crucially, the bill prohibits using federal WIC program funds for this requirement, instead directing that funding must come from medical assistance programs under state law. The law would take effect 90 days after enactment.
