FL H0093

Adds fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) to the definition of "developmental disability" in Florida law, defined as the range of adverse effects from prenatal alcohol exposure including physical, mental, behavioral, and learning disabilities with possible lifelong implications.

Requires FASD to manifest before age 18 and constitute a substantial handicap reasonably expected to continue indefinitely to qualify as a developmental disability.

Mandates the Agency for Persons with Disabilities allow individuals diagnosed with FASD who meet eligibility requirements to receive home and community-based services.

Adds FASD to the list of qualifying disabilities under the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program for 3-4 year-old children and kindergarten through grade 12 students.

Takes effect July 1, 2022.
