What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act," seeks to amend the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The primary goal is to change how subminimum wage employment is handled for certain individuals. It expands the age range for those who can accept such employment to include anyone 18 or older. The bill also adds a new provision allowing entities to meet requirements if a State unit fails to provide specific services after documented contact efforts. These changes apply to employment occurring on or after the date the Act is enacted.
