The proposed bill would establish a Technology Study Committee focused on assistive technology, which is designed to aid individuals with disabilities. The committee would consist of 15 members appointed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, representing various organizations and groups involved in assistive technology. The committee is required to meet twice a year and will study specific issues related to assistive technology, analyze emerging technologies, and identify potential changes to better serve individuals with assistive technology needs.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the committee submit a report detailing its activities and recommendations to key legislative leaders by October 1, 2026. This section of the law would be repealed after that date. The bill introduces new provisions regarding the committee's composition, responsibilities, and reporting requirements, while leaving existing statutes unchanged.
