2005 Minnesota Statutes - 125A.31 — Local primary agency.

     125A.31 Local primary agency. 


    (a) The local primary agency must: 


    (1) facilitate the development of annual fund requests that 
 identify arrangements with other local and regional agencies 
 providing services as part of the state's early childhood 
 intervention system and that result in service availability on a 
 year-round basis, as necessary; 


    (2) administer funds received through the annual fund 
 request; 


    (3) provide oversight for data collection efforts; 


    (4) facilitate completion of interagency early intervention 
 committee duties as indicated in section 125A.30; 


    (5) request mediation from the state lead agency, if 
 necessary; 


    (6) request assistance from the state lead agency when 
 disputes between agencies cannot be resolved within 20 calendar 
 days; and 


    (7) receive written requests from parents for matters that 
 may be resolved through due process hearings. 


    (b) When the local primary agency is not an education 
 agency, resources distributed under the early intervention fund 
 must be transferred from a local educational agency to a 
 noneducation agency using a state provided contract.  A local 
 primary agency may budget for indirect costs at an amount not to 
 exceed five percent of the amount allocated from the early 
 intervention fund.
