Expanded Employment Choice and Opportunity for Adults with Disabilities.

This act changes rules for employing individuals with disabilities, allowing them broader access to jobs at subminimum wages if they choose. The goal is to increase their employment opportunities and career choices. Changes apply to individuals aged 18 and older and introduce new rules for vocational counseling.
Key points
Individuals with disabilities aged 18 and older can now consciously choose employment at subminimum wages, providing more job options.
Employers must document efforts to contact state units for counseling and information for employees with disabilities.
The changes are retroactive to March 13, 2020, meaning they apply to employment from that date.
