Bill Summary

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 proposes to amend Massachusetts law to define "Substance-Exposed Newborn" and "Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome," and to require the state's Department of Public Health to review and revise early intervention operational standards to ensure that children under 3 years old who are diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or meet the definition of substance-exposed newborns are categorically eligible for early intervention services until their third birthday.
