The bill proposes the repeal of Section 22-14-20 NMSA 1978, which is deemed an obsolete provision. This section previously outlined the functions of the New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped. The repeal is part of a broader effort to transfer these functions to the Blind Administrative Unit of the Vocational Rehabilitation Division within the Department of Education.

By eliminating this outdated section, the bill aims to streamline the administration of services for visually impaired individuals, ensuring that they are managed more effectively under the Vocational Rehabilitation Division. This change reflects a shift in focus towards integrating services and resources for individuals with visual impairments within a more comprehensive framework of vocational rehabilitation.
