The bill appropriates funds for a grant to the Dakota County board to conduct a community health study focused on lead exposure among residents in Dakota County. Specifically, it allocates an amount from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of health, who will oversee the grant. The study aims to investigate various aspects of lead exposure, including sources of lead emissions, their compliance with air and water quality standards, and the impact of these emissions on the blood lead levels of vulnerable populations, such as children under six and pregnant women.

Additionally, the bill allows the commissioner to provide technical assistance to Dakota County Public Health upon request and mandates the availability of de-identified data from the blood lead surveillance system to support the study. The overall goal is to identify necessary actions at both the county and state levels to protect residents from lead exposure and mitigate associated risks.
