DE HB89

Restructures the Childhood Lead Poisoning Advisory Committee from 7 members to 9 members, adding representatives from the Delaware State Housing Authority and Delaware Association of Realtors, plus two additional gubernatorial appointees from different counties.

Changes the Committee's role from "ensure" implementation to "advise on" implementation of the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act and requires semiannual reports to the General Assembly.

Directs the Committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation and report findings within 12 months on compliance with existing testing requirements, expansion of testing to older children, and testing for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Mandates the Committee to examine mechanisms to improve lead poisoning prevention across state agencies including recommendations for rental housing protections, enforcement improvements, and enhanced identification of lead poisoning cases in school-age children.

Requires the Committee to assess Delaware's public education needs regarding childhood lead poisoning prevention, addressing exposures from homes, occupational sources, recreational sources, and lead found in cosmetics, toys, and food.
