§  2552. Responsibility of municipality. 1. Each municipality shall be   responsible for ensuring that the early intervention services  contained   in  an  IFSP  are  provided  to eligible children and their families who   reside in such municipality.  A  municipality  may  monitor,  which  may   include  site  visitation,  evaluators  and  providers  of such services   within the municipality in accordance with this  title  and  regulations   promulgated  hereunder, including making the determinations specified in   this section. The service coordinator shall  report,  in  a  manner  and   format as determined by the municipality, on the delivery of services to   an  eligible  child  in  accordance  with  the  eligible child's IFSP. A   municipality  may  request  that  the  parent  select  a   new   service   coordinator  or  require  that  the  service  coordinator  select  a new   provider  of  services  if  the  municipality  finds  that  the  service   coordinator  has  not  been  performing  his  or her responsibilities as   required by this title or  that  services  have  not  been  provided  in   accordance  with  the  eligible  child's IFSP. If the early intervention   official determines that the evaluator has not followed the requirements   in  this  title  or  regulations  promulgated   hereunder,   the   early   intervention  official may require that the evaluator immediately submit   additional documentation to support the  eligibility  determination.  If   the  evaluator  does  not  provide  the  requested documentation, or the   documentation  provided  continues   to   be   inconsistent   with   the   requirements  of  this  title  or  regulations,  the  early intervention   official can require that the parent select another evaluator to conduct   a multidisciplinary evaluation to  determine  whether  the  child  meets   eligibility for program services.2.  The  early intervention official shall require an eligible child's   parent to furnish the parents'  and  eligible  child's  social  security   numbers   for   the  purpose  of  the  department's  and  municipality's   administration of the program.

A  local  body  which has been previously constituted may serve this purpose if it has the appropriate members.  The commissioner, in his or her discretion,  may  waive  one  or  more  of  the  foregoing membership  composition  requirements in those municipalities where such requirements cannot reasonably be met.   2. The local early intervention coordinating council  shall  meet,  in open  forum,  at  least  four  times  a  year for its first two years of existence.   3. The council shall advise the early intervention official regarding:  (a)  the  planning  for,  delivery  and  assessment   of   the   early intervention   services   for  eligible  children  and  their  families, including the transition from early intervention  services  to  services and  programs  under section forty-four hundred ten of the education law and other early childhood programs;  (b) the identification of service delivery reforms needed  to  promote the   availability   of   early  intervention  services  within  natural environments;  (c) the coordination of public and private agencies; and  (d) such other matters relating to  early  intervention  policies  and procedures  within  the  municipality as are brought to its attention by parents, providers, public agencies or others.   4. The council will report annually to the early intervention official on  the  adequacy  of  the  early  intervention  system  to  ensure  the availability  of  family  centered,  coordinated services; and interface with other existing planning bodies that serve like populations.
