PHOENIX- Today, Governor Hobbs signed 12 bills into law, including HB2456, which will fund for The Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind for the next 4 years.

“The Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (ASDB) is a cornerstone of the visually impaired and Deaf and hard of hearing communities in Arizona,” said Governor Hobbs. “The ASDB community has been treated with disrespect and was not given equal access to participate in the legislative process.
