The bill amends the Achieving a Better Life Experience Program Act by changing the definitions of "disability certification" and "eligible individual." Specifically, it raises the age at which a disability must onset to qualify for benefits from twenty-six to forty-six years. This change is reflected in the legal language where the age limit is updated in both definitions, ensuring that individuals who experience disabilities after the age of twenty-six but before forty-six can still be eligible for the program.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the changes will take effect on January 1, 2026. This amendment aims to broaden the scope of eligibility for individuals with disabilities, potentially allowing more people to access the benefits provided under the program.
