ThinkDIFFERENTLY About Disability Employment Act

HR 7989, the "ThinkDIFFERENTLY About Disability Employment Act," requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to partner with the National Council on Disability to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The bill directs the SBA to assist individuals with disabilities in starting businesses or finding jobs at small businesses, while also helping small businesses hire people with disabilities and address accessibility needs. No new funding is authorized for these activities, and the SBA must report to Congress within two years on its progress. The bill directly affects people with disabilities seeking employment or entrepreneurship, and small businesses hiring them.
