Latest version.
  • a. The
      department shall refer to appropriate medical providers any  person  who
      requests  assistance  in  blood  lead  screening,  testing, diagnosis or
      treatment, and upon the request of a parent  or  guardian,  arrange  for
      blood  lead  screening  of  any  child  who requires screening and whose
      parent or guardian is unable to obtain a lead test because the child  is
      uninsured or the child's insurance does not cover such screening.
        b.  The  department  shall  develop  a pamphlet explaining the hazards
      associated with lead-based paint and describing  the  procedures  to  be
      used  in  order  for  a violation of sections 27-2056.6 and 27-2056.7 of
      this code to  be  corrected.  The  pamphlet  shall  include  appropriate
      telephone  numbers  to  obtain  lead  poisoning screening, diagnosis and
      treatment  information  and  to  report  unsafe  lead-based  paint  work
      practices.  Such  pamphlet  shall  be  made available in accordance with
      section 27-2056.9 of  this  code.  Such  pamphlet  shall  also  be  made
      available to any member of the public upon request.
