Hawaii HB880 addresses early childhood intervention by reclassifying positions and establishing mental health specialist roles.
Hawaii HB880 aims to tackle the challenges faced by children with special needs under three by addressing vacancy rates in early intervention programs. The bill requires the Department of Human Resources Development to reclassify certain positions within the early childhood services unit of the Department of Health. It also establishes two full-time equivalent mental health specialist positions to enhance the state's resources for infant and early childhood mental health needs. The bill appropriates funds for these reclassifications and new positions.
