Relates to lead testing of children participating in the WIC program
This bill requires New York's Department of Health to mandate lead testing for all children enrolled in the WIC program (Women, Infants, and Children). It specifies that testing must occur at intervals and using methods defined by the department, directly affecting WIC participants under federal law. Crucially, the bill states federal WIC program funds cannot cover this testing, and funding must instead come from medical assistance programs under state law. The requirement would take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law.
