The bill appropriates funds for a community health study focused on lead exposure in Dakota County, Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates an unspecified amount from the general fund to the commissioner of health for a grant to the Dakota County board. The study aims to investigate sources of lead emissions, assess whether these emissions have exceeded air and water quality standards in the past 24 months, and evaluate their impact on blood lead levels among residents, particularly vulnerable populations such as children under six and pregnant women. Additionally, the study will identify necessary actions to protect residents from lead exposure and mitigate associated risks.

Furthermore, the bill allows the commissioner of health to provide technical assistance for the study upon request from Dakota County Public Health. It also mandates the availability of de-identified data on Dakota County residents from the blood lead surveillance system, ensuring that the study is informed by relevant health data while maintaining privacy.
