Petitioners in the lawsuit Healthy Children Organizing Project, et al. v. Department of Health Services, et al., Superior Court of California in and for the City and County of San Francisco, Case No. 313012, challenged the validity of the emergency regulations, “Screening for Childhood Lead Poisoning”. The court found that the regulations did not comply with the statutory requirements. In response to the court order and comments received during the open comment period, the Department revised the regulations. The revised regulations were submitted to the court and made available for public comment. The following regulations reflect changes made in response to public comments already received and further changes that will be made available for an additional public comment period. The Department sought adoption of these emergency regulations for the purpose of avoiding the lapse of the medical standard of care and avoiding confusion among impacted health care providers during the period between the normal expiration of the prior emergency regulations and the completion of the regulatory process.
