    §  1370-d.  Lead  screening of child care or pre-school enrollees.  1.
  Except as provided pursuant to regulations of the department, each child
  care  provider,  public  and  private  nursery  school  and   pre-school
  licensed,  certified  or  approved  by  any state or local agency shall,
  prior to or within three months after  initial  enrollment  of  a  child
  under  six  years  of age, obtain from a parent or guardian of the child
  evidence that said child has been screened for lead.
    2. Whenever there exists no evidence of lead screening as provided for
  in subdivision one of this section or other acceptable evidence  of  the
  child's screening for lead, the child care provider, principal, teacher,
  owner  or  person  in  charge  of the nursery school or pre-school shall
  provide the parent or guardian of the child  with  information  on  lead
  poisoning in children and lead poisoning prevention and refer the parent
  or guardian to a primary care provider or the local health authority.
    3.  (a)  If  any  parent or guardian to such child is unable to obtain
  lead testing, such person may present such child to the  health  officer
  of  the  county  in  which  the child resides, who shall then perform or
  arrange for the required screening.
    (b) The local public health district shall develop and implement a fee
  schedule for households with incomes in excess of two hundred percent of
  the federal poverty level for lead screening  pursuant  to  section  six
  hundred  six  of  this  chapter,  which  shall vary depending on patient
  household income.
