Relates to the promotion of employment of people with disabilities

This bill creates a new task force within the Department of Labor to help state agencies hire and keep people with disabilities in the workforce. The group will consist of 16 members appointed by the governor, including representatives from various state departments, labor unions, business leaders, and individuals with disabilities. The task force will meet at least every three months to study unemployment issues, review existing programs, and develop strategies to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities. After two years, the group must submit a public report with recommendations to the governor and state legislators on how the state can better support these workers.
