REPEAL OBSOLETE SCHOOL PROVISION

SB 426 repeals an outdated 1971 law (Section 22-14-20 NMSA 1978) that established the New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped. It transfers the school's responsibilities to the Blind Administrative Unit within the Department of Education's Vocational Rehabilitation Division. This change eliminates an obsolete agency structure and consolidates services for visually impaired individuals under a current administrative unit. The bill aimed to modernize how the state manages these educational services but was postponed indefinitely in the House.
