Renaming the deaf, dumb and blind account.
This bill (HB 48) amends a Wyoming statute to rename the "deaf, dumb and blind account" to the "Deaf, dumb and hard of hearing, blind and visually impaired account." It only changes the name of an existing state fund account established under Wyoming law to better reflect current terminology and respect for people with disabilities. The bill does not alter funding levels, eligibility, or policy for the account. It takes effect July 1, 2024.
