SB530

Establishes requirements for Braille literacy services for students with low vision or blindness in Hawaii.

The Hawaii Braille Literacy Education Act aims to ensure equal educational opportunities for students with low vision or blindness by mandating Braille literacy services. The bill requires the Department of Education to provide Braille instructional materials and services to eligible students, ensuring they are available concurrently with print materials for other students. It also establishes a Braille literacy resource center to advocate for these services, obtain necessary materials, and provide information to students, parents, and educators.
