Tennessee SB1255 mandates blood lead level testing for all children prior to attending public schools serving pre-K through 12th grade, with follow-up screenings and services for those with elevated levels. It also requires similar testing for pregnant women enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
