This bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $1,000,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the Older Individuals Who Are Blind Program administered by the Department of Economic Security (DES). The new language would be inserted into the existing statutes to ensure funding is allocated for services that assist older individuals who are blind or visually impaired in achieving independent living.

The bill does not delete any existing provisions but adds new language to clarify the appropriation of funds. The effective date of the bill would align with the general effective date, ensuring that the funding becomes available as intended.
