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.
