This bill amends the existing law regarding the Governor's Commission on Disability by adding the coordinator of the program for the deaf and hard of hearing as an ex officio member. The specific legal language changes include the insertion of the coordinator's title and department, which is the bureau of vocational rehabilitation within the department of education. Additionally, the bill renumbers the existing members of the commission, replacing the previous sixth member designation with the new addition, and updating the numbering for subsequent members accordingly.

The effective date of this act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be August 9, 2025. This change aims to enhance representation and ensure that the perspectives of the deaf and hard of hearing community are included in discussions and decisions made by the commission.
