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 established criteria. The program will provide various services, including outreach, mobility training, Braille instruction, and peer counseling, with the department evaluating each consumer's needs to tailor the support provided.

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 granted rulemaking authority to implement the provisions of the program, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The bill aims to enhance the quality of life for those with severe visual impairments by promoting independence and self-sufficiency through targeted support services.
