CT SB00434

Requires the Commissioner of Public Health to maintain a lead surveillance system registry of all children from birth to age 18 with abnormal blood lead screening results reported under state statute.

Grants school nurses and pediatric primary care providers access to the lead surveillance system to confirm if their patients previously tested positive for abnormal lead levels and to ensure appropriate health care services.

Designates all personal information and blood lead screening results as confidential under state law, with disclosure prohibited without written authorization from the child's parent or legal guardian.

Directs the Commissioner to adopt regulations specifying how the system information is made available to school nurses, primary care providers, and parents/guardians, and how parents/guardians may prohibit access to their child's information.

Takes effect upon passage.
