The bill replaces the existing definitions for "disability certification" and "eligible individual" in Section 71-4-803, ensuring that they align with the definitions provided in the code. Additionally, it modifies Section 71-4-806(d) to clarify that contributions from a student's individualized education account to an ABLE account can only be used for the student's education expenses, in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations.

The bill's provisions regarding the definitions take effect immediately upon becoming law, while the changes related to the use of contributions will be effective starting January 1, 2026.
