1997 Minnesota Statutes

     123.701 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 123.701 to 123.7045 is to assist parents and 
 communities in improving the health of Minnesota children and in 
 planning educational and health programs.
