The creation of a permanent commission was a recommendation of the former Child Lead Poisoning Elimination Board. The new commission will focus on implementation of the board's recommendations and monitor the state's efforts to eliminate lead exposure in children.
Housed within the Department of Health and Human Services, the 15-member commission will act in an advisory capacity to the Governor and department director to coordinate and collaborate with all levels of government and stakeholders regarding programs and policies related to the elimination of child lead exposure.
