SB 1083 - This act removes the six month age limitation in
Section 701.342, RSMo. Current law requires the Department of
Health and Senior Services to annually screen or test all
children between the ages of six months to six years in high risk
areas for lead poisoning. This act requires all children less
than six years of age to be tested or screened for possible lead
poisoning.
