(1) "Administrator", the department of health and senior services;
(2) "Child", any persons under twenty-one years of age;
(3) "Service", the crippled children's service;
(4) "Services", medical, surgical, corrective, diagnostic,

CROSS REFERENCE: Department of health and senior services, authority to
administer crippled children's service, RSMo 192.005
There is created as an agency of state government, the "Crippled
Children's Service". (L. 1959 S.B. 368 § 2)
The crippled children's service is designated as the agency of
this state to administer a program of service to children who are
crippled or who are suffering from conditions that lead to crippling and
to supervise the administration of the services that are included in this
program. The purpose of this service is to develop, extend, and improve
services for locating such children, especially in rural areas, and for
providing medical, surgical, corrective and other services and care and
facilities for diagnosis, hospitalization, and aftercare. (L. 1959 S.B.
368 § 3)
Any child residing in the state of Missouri who is crippled or
is suffering from conditions which lead to crippling, who is in need of
services because of his condition, who has been certified by a physician
of his choice as a person who can probably benefit from such services,
who is financially unable to pay for such services and whose parents,
guardian, or person legally chargeable with his support is unable to pay
therefor, shall be entitled to such services without charge, but if any
person, firm, corporation, or public or private agency is liable, either
pursuant to contract or otherwise, to the parents or a recipient of
services on account of personal injury to or disability or disease of the
recipient of services, the service is subrogated to the right of the
parent or recipient to recover from that part of the award or settlement
an amount equal to the amount expended by the service for services which
are not otherwise recoverable from the parent or recipient. The
acceptance of services from the service constitutes acknowledgment of
subrogation rights by the service, and the service may take any and all
action necessary to enforce the subrogation rights. Any such child who,
or whose parents, guardian, or other person legally chargeable with the
support of the child, is able to pay a portion but not all of the
expenses for the required services for the child, shall be entitled to
the services if the child, parents, guardian or other person legally
charged with the support of the child shall pay such amounts thereof to
the hospital and physician as the child, parents, guardian, or other
persons legally charged with the support of the child are reasonably able
to pay. (L. 1959 S.B. 368 § 4, A.L. 1984 S.B. 727)
1. The department of health and senior services is designated as
the administrator of the crippled children's service.
2. The administrator:
(1) Shall formulate and administer a detailed plan or plans for the
purpose of administering the service and to make and enforce such rules
and regulations as are necessary or desirable for the administration of
these plans and the provisions of this chapter;
(2) Shall receive and expend, in accordance with such plans, all funds
made available to the service by the federal government, by the state or
its political subdivisions, or from any other sources for such purposes,
and it shall cooperate with the federal government in developing,
improving, and extending the services and in the administration of the
plans;
(3) Shall cooperate with other state departments and agencies of this
state and with medical, health, nursing, and welfare groups and
organizations, private or public, and endeavor to coordinate the efforts
of all persons and agencies interested in the discovery, care, and
rehabilitation of crippled children, and it is entitled to receive aid
and assistance from other departments and agencies of this state in
carrying out the plans adopted by the administrator;

gifts, devises, or bequests to the service and may act as trustee and as
such receive title to property, real or personal, where given in trust
for the benefit of the service. (L. 1959 S.B. 368 §§ 5, 6)

upon proper requisition therefor. Any surplus moneys in the fund not
currently needed for operation expenses may be invested by the

States of America or obligations guaranteed by the United States of
America. Any trust funds in the hands of the administrator may be
invested in such manner as may be provided by law, except that any trust
funds coming to the administrator with special instructions with
