The bill establishes an "Adjustment to Blindness Program" within the Department of Public Health and Human Services aimed at assisting individuals under the age of 55 who have severe visual impairments in achieving independent living goals. It outlines the definitions of key terms such as "consumer," "independent living," and "independent living services," and mandates the department to determine eligibility for these services based on criteria set through administrative rules. The program will provide various services, including outreach, mobility training, Braille instruction, and peer counseling, contingent upon available funding and the financial resources of the consumers.

Additionally, the bill ensures that individuals who are aggrieved by the department's actions regarding their application or receipt of services have the right to a fair hearing. The department is also granted rulemaking authority to implement the provisions of the program effectively. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is intended to be codified as part of Title 53, chapter 7 of the Montana Code.
