Modifies provisions for blind pensions

HB 359 updates eligibility rules for state blind pensions. It clarifies the medical definition of "blind" (requiring vision uncorrectable to better than 5/200 in one eye or a visual field ≤5 degrees) and requires annual vision tests by approved eye specialists for initial and renewal applications. The bill extends the re-examination period from every 5 to 7 years for most recipients, exempts those with no usable vision from retests (unless the department suspects ineligibility), and sets a minimum $340 monthly pension amount. It also specifies that pension payments stop if a recipient qualifies for federal SSI or general relief assistance.
