Action:
Update Disease Reporting and Control Regulations and Repeal Blood Lead Testing Regulations
Action 4091
General Information
| Action Summary |
The agency intends to amend several disease-specific sections of the disease reporting regulations. Cancer reporting requirements will be updated to require the use of electronic means of reporting. The section on testing of gamete donors will be amended to align state requirements with those of the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The agency also proposes to incorporate the testing and risk determination criteria for identifying children with elevated blood lead levels into 12VAC5-90 and to repeal 12VAC5-120, the existing regulation pertaining to blood lead testing of children. The Virginia Department of Health may propose additional changes that reflect changing practices in the field of communicable disease control and emergency preparedness that are needed to protect the health of the residents of Virginia. |
