Modifies provisions governing grants to deaf-blind individuals and families

HB 1308 creates grants to support deaf-blind individuals and their families in Missouri by funding three key areas: (1) organizations providing services for deaf-blind children, including family support and parent training; (2) programs helping deaf-blind adults achieve independence; and (3) training to certify support service providers. Grants are awarded through a competitive request-for-proposal process, with total annual funding capped at $300,000. The bill directly affects deaf-blind Missourians, their families, and service organizations that deliver these specific supports. It does not change eligibility or funding levels for existing programs but establishes new grant categories and administrative procedures.
