DAVIS,MONIQUE-FLOWERS-GILES-SLONE AND YOUNGE. (TROTTER) 410 ILCS 45/6.2 from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1306.2 410 ILCS 45/6.3 new 410 ILCS 45/14 from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1314 Amends the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act. Requires physicians and health care providers to conduct lead poisoning screening for girls age 13 or older, for pregnant women who are in the first or third trimester of pregnancy and women participating in the WIC program; also provides for screening for women who are nursing an infant. Requires the Department of Public Health to initiate activities that will ensure that the greatest possible number of at-risk children and women are identified and screened for lead poisoning. Requires the Department to ensure that educational materials are capable of being easily understood by women who are subject to screening for lead poisoning and by parents of children who are subject to screening. Requires the Department to make educational materials particularly available to residents of areas defined as high risk for lead poisoning. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Department of Public Aid) Lead screening is currently covered for all ages, as ordered by a physician on a case-by-case basis. The Department estimates that 170,000 additional screenings may be required at an esti- mated cost of $4.2 million annually. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health) HB 4414 would have a significant fiscal impact on the Department and the local health departments with delegate agency grant agreements to conduct screening and investi- gations for the Department. It is also expected that there could be an additional fiscal impact to the Department of Human Services which administers the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The grand total for implementing the proposed legislation throughout Illinois would be approximately $27,500,000 in addi- tional costs to the Department. If the Department of Public Aid provides reimbursements using the same procedures for these groups, the cost to the Department is estimated at $16,100,000.
