(c) On and after July 1, 2024, certified early intervention service brokers shall obtain or provide early intervention services, subject to available appropriations, including but not limited to:

(I) Service coordination with families of eligible children. The purpose of service and support coordination is to enable a family to utilize service systems to meet its needs in an effective manner and increase the family's confidence and competence. Service coordination is to be rendered in an interagency context that emphasizes interagency collaboration. A family must have, to the extent possible, a choice as to who performs certain facets of service coordination as established in the family's individualized family service plan.

(II) Coordination of early intervention services with local agencies and other community resources at the local level to avoid duplication and fragmentation of early intervention services. A certified early intervention service broker shall:

(A) Coordinate with the local interagency effort regarding outreach, identification, screening, multidisciplinary assessment, and eligibility determination for families served by the certified early intervention service broker who requested the services;

(B) Coordinate with the local family support services program; and

(C) Coordinate with other appropriate state agencies providing programs for infants and toddlers.

(4) The department is authorized to use up to three percent of the amount of the appropriation for early intervention services for training and technical assistance to ensure that the latest developments for early intervention services are rapidly integrated into service provision throughout the state.
