Bill overview
The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act aims to shift employment practices for individuals with disabilities away from special certificates, which often involve subminimum wages, and towards competitive integrated employment. It provides grants to states and eligible entities to transform their business models, assist individuals in finding and retaining work in competitive settings, and phase out the use of these special certificates over a six-year period. The bill also establishes a program to provide technical assistance to employers making this transition and mandates ongoing evaluation of the program’s impact.
