[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Children's Health Insurance for
Long-Term Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

The purpose of this act is to provide health insurance coverage for
children during the Infant Neurological Risk Exposure Period (INREP).
The INREP extends through age 3 and encompasses the period of most
rapid neurological changes in young children. Health coverage will
improve children's health and, through routine health supervision,
promote parents' caregiving skills through these critical years.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) 86 percent of children with private health insurance
are under-insured with respect to well-child care;
(2) because the human brain develops rapidly until the age
of 3, children need regular screenings and follow-up care to
detect neurological abnormalities and ensure normal
development;
(3) regular pediatric visits enable physicians to provide
guidance on parental activities, such as reading, that
stimulate the brain development of infants; and

normal brain and nervous system development.
