New Requirements for Blood Lead Testing of Young Children: 

By law, Michigan now requires blood lead testing for all children at 12 months and 24 months of age and at other intervals based on exposure risk. This approach is commonly called “universal blood lead testing”. It is the physician’s responsibility to test or order the test.

The law updates the Public Health Code, adding MCL 333.5474d and amending MCL 333 9206(1). Administrative rules (R 330.301-304) for implementation of the law were made official on April 30, 2025.
