This bill died with 149th General Assembly (2017-2018). It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

At this time, the 24-month testing rates are well below what the Division of Public Health would expect them to be based upon the risk factors that determine when testing is necessary. This bill simplifies the requirements and the process for physicians and eliminates confusion that may be causing the low compliance rate for the second test. With better compliance, the Division of Public Health will have a much clearer picture of lead exposure in Delaware. This bill also requires the Division of Public Health to review the criteria for testing every 5 years. This requirement would actively foster discussions between the Division and stakeholders to ensure that the best balance is struck between the burden of testing and the protection to children.
