- House health panel advances bills to combat elevated blood lead levels, fetal alcohol syndrome
The Michigan House Committee on Health Policy advanced two bill packages to address elevated blood lead levels and fetal alcohol syndrome. Proposals include aligning Michigan's lead level standards with CDC guidelines, requiring referrals to early intervention programs, and testing baby foods for heavy metals. All bills passed without opposition, though some were referred to the House Committee on Rules.
