This bill requires health professionals caring for infants diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder to refer the child's parent or guardian to Early On Michigan, a program that supports families with young children with developmental disabilities. It defines fetal alcohol spectrum disorder as a range of conditions resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure, including fetal alcohol syndrome and related neurodevelopmental disorders. The legislation applies to health professionals managing infant care and directs them to connect families with Early On Michigan services upon diagnosis. The bill also authorizes the state department to create rules necessary to implement these referral requirements.
