Summary

The bill amends state law to require nonprofit or university‑affiliated rehabilitation programs to meet specific nonprofit, accreditation, staffing and service criteria before they can enter cooperative agreements with the Division of Blind Services. Programs that satisfy those standards become priority providers for state funding, and the division may also contract with private vendors when a community program cannot serve a client.
