H 143 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to establishing a support service program for individuals who are DeafBlind

H 143 requires Vermont's Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living to create a new support service program specifically for individuals who are DeafBlind. The bill mandates the department to establish this program to provide direct assistance and coordination of services. It directly affects DeafBlind residents in Vermont by creating a dedicated state-run support system. The key provision is the legal requirement for the department to develop and operate this specialized program, rather than relying on existing services.
