Permits children age three through five to receive early intervention services under certain circumstances.

This bill allows children aged three to five to continue receiving early intervention services until they turn six or are eligible for kindergarten, whichever comes first. These services are provided in compliance with federal law, which mandates obtaining parental consent and allowing parents to opt out at any time. The Department of Health, in collaboration with the Departments of Education and Human Services, will establish a statewide system for these services.
