Lead Poisoning Prevention Act
Illinois · Public Health · §§ 410-45-1 to 410-45-9-4 · 37 sections
Overview
The act addresses lead poisoning and the lead hazards that cause it, restricting the use and sale of lead-bearing substances and requiring warnings where such materials are sold. It charges the state health department with testing children and pregnant persons for lead exposure, receiving confidential reports of lead poisoning, inspecting dwelling units tied to elevated blood lead levels and regulating child care facilities, and ordering abatement or mitigation of hazards it finds, with property owners obligated to give and post notice to occupants. Compliance rests on licensing of lead inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors, supervisors, and workers, backed by inspection warrants, stop work orders, referral of violations for prosecution, other civil relief, and a dedicated fund supported by fees, alongside an advisory council and departmental rulemaking authority.
