Introduced Text

Nebraska LB87 would establish a statewide support service provider program for deaf-blind persons.

Nebraska LB87 aims to create a statewide support service provider program for deaf-blind persons, facilitating their transition from dependency to independent living and societal participation. The program will include assistance to live independently, access to information, human guide services, and help with daily living activities. The Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired will develop this program, which may contract with private providers or offer services directly. The Legislature intends to allocate $100,000 annually from the General Fund for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27.
