HD 3316 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to promote employment for people with disabilities

HD 3316 creates a state council to help people with disabilities find jobs by requiring state agencies and local governments to consider purchasing services from certified providers. The council will maintain a list of approved services, verify fair market prices, and ensure certified programs employ at least 75% people with disabilities in direct work (like service delivery, not admin). This affects state agencies buying services, disability-focused nonprofits (community rehabilitation programs), and people with disabilities seeking employment. The law aims to expand job opportunities while ensuring these services offer value to public buyers.
