During the State Senate's FY2018 budget debate in May, 2017 - Senator Julian Cyr introduced an amendment to add additional funds to the childhood lead prevention and mitigation budget at the state's Department of Public Health. As you'll see in this video, Senator Cyr's amendment was unfortunately not included in the budget - but Senator Cyr, Senator Jehlen, Senator Chang-Diaz, Senator Lewis and Senator Montigny led a spirited discussion on the importance of this funding and discussed prioritization of this matter for later in this legislative session.
