DHS-EARLY INTERVENTION SERVCS

Amends the Early Intervention Services System Act. Requires the Department of Human Services, or an entity designated by the Department, to develop and maintain an updated list of all of the State-approved public or private early intervention service providers in each local service area. Provides that the list shall be available on the Department or designated entity's website to allow free access to the list by eligible children and their families. Further provides that the list shall not include any information which would lead to preferential selection of any provider or group of providers over other providers, and that providers may not be included on the list of approved providers if, within the preceding 5 years, the provider has been a service coordinator of a local regional intake entity in a local service area. Effective immediately.
