     121A.16 Early childhood health and development 
  screening; purpose. 

    The legislature finds that early detection of children's 
 health and developmental problems can reduce their later need 
 for costly care, minimize their physical and educational 
 handicaps, and aid in their rehabilitation.  The purpose of 
 sections 121A.16 to 121A.19 is to assist parents and communities 
 in improving the health of Minnesota children and in planning 
 educational and health programs.
