Modifies provisions relating to the Blind Pension Fund

Summary

The amendment would repeal the constitutional mandate that the General Assembly levy a property tax of $0.005 to $0.03 per $100 of assessed value to fund the Blind Pension Fund. Instead, it requires the legislature to appropriate each year at least the same amount it funded the fund for the 2026‑27 fiscal year, with any surplus directed to the commission for the blind or the public school fund. This shifts funding from a tax to a legislatively set appropriation.
