AZ HB2809

Requires the Department of Economic Security to employ at least one health care provider with five years of clinical experience with infants and toddlers with developmental delays to administer early intervention programs.

Mandates that interagency agreements for early intervention services provide families with a choice in service providers for infants and toddlers with developmental delays.

Adds a new duty for the director to ensure families with children with developmental disabilities have a choice in service providers and can opt out of any department program not meeting their child's needs.

Imposes a moratorium on the Department of Economic Security implementing changes to administrative procedures, rules, or policies relating to procurement procedures for services to developmentally disabled children until June 30, 2013.

Makes the moratorium provision retroactively effective from September 30, 2011.
