 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 5 lead levels test at not less than 15 micrograms per deciliter of whole
 6 blood up to 24.99 micrograms per deciliter of whole blood.
 7 7. If a child's blood level test is above 25 micrograms per deciliter
 8 of whole blood, the commissioner or his designee shall take appropriate
 9 measures to ensure that an environmental investigation, as required by
 10 subpart 67-2 of title ten of the New York state codes, rules and regu-
 11 lations, is completed. If the department finds that the investigation
 12 has not been completed within one hundred eighty days of its notice of
 13 the blood lead level finding, the department shall complete such inves-
 14 tigation immediately. The department may take reasonable measures to
 15 collect the costs of conducting these assessments from entities
 16 originally responsible for conducting them.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
