Connecticut General Statutes Title 17A. Social and Human Services and Resources § 17a-248m. Receipt of early intervention services by Spanish-speaking qualified personnel and service coordinators. Spanish-speaking interpreting or translator services

On and after July 1, 2023, an eligible child whose primary language is Spanish shall be entitled to receive early intervention services from Spanish-speaking qualified personnel and a Spanish-speaking service coordinator. If no such Spanish-speaking qualified personnel or Spanish-speaking coordinator are available within the state-wide birth-to-three system for the provision of such early intervention services, a Spanish-speaking interpreter or translator shall be used to provide interpreting or translation services to such Spanish-speaking eligible children on behalf of the qualified personnel and service coordinators providing early intervention services, and such Spanish-speaking interpreter or translator shall be reimbursed at the rate received by court-appointed interpreters and translators within the judicial branch.
