Relative to access to early intervention services for children with prenatal exposure to opioids. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand access to early intervention services for children with prenatal exposure to opioids. It amends the state's laws to define "Substance-Exposed Newborn" and "Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome," and requires the department to revise the early intervention operational standards to ensure that children under 3 years old who meet these definitions are deemed categorically eligible for early intervention services until their third birthday. The goal is to provide these children with the necessary support and services during a critical developmental period.
