California Welfare And Institutions Code Section 4097

There is hereby established, under the administration of the State Department of Mental Health, an Early Intervention Mental Health Program. This program shall provide services to infants and toddlers, from birth to three years of age, and their families. To the extent funding is available through the annual Budget Act, and professional collaborative relationships have been established, the program may be expanded beyond the 1999-2000 pilot project focus on children who have been diagnosed with a developmental disability or delay or who are at risk of a developmental disability or delay.
