A. The secretary may establish a program for the collection and analysis of data on
lead hazard detection and lead hazard reduction activities in the state, and on the
certification, accreditation, and enforcement activities of the department.
B. The owner of any licensed day care center, preschool, or public or nonpublic
elementary school facility that qualifies as a child-occupied facility and first placed in
operation after August 1, 2012, shall have an inspector conduct an inspection of the facility
and grounds for the presence of lead hazards. No inspection shall be required if the facility
or its grounds has been inspected or has been the subject of lead abatement or remediation
since 1978. If a portion of the facility or its grounds has not been inspected or been the
subject of lead abatement or remediation since 1978, then those portions of the facility or its
grounds shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. The owner or operator of the
facility shall maintain documentation that the inspection or lead abatement or remediation
activities were conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. If a lead hazard is
found to be present, the inspector and the owner shall report those findings to the state health
officer and the secretary. The state health officer shall compile the results and report the
findings to the legislature in the annual Louisiana Health Report Card.
C. The secretary may enter into agreements with the Louisiana Department of Health
to implement this Section.
