by Editors
Gov. Daniels has signed into law the Indiana Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act of 2008. Sen. Beverly Gard (R-Greenfield), who had her fingerprints on some of the legislative session’s most constructive measures, wrote the bill, which will help ensure children with elevated blood lead levels receive prompt services; protect consumers from lead in toys and other products; improves the safety of professional home remodeling projects; and provide better advice for do-it-yourselfers.
