ThinkDIFFERENTLY About Disability Employment Act

HR 1634, 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. It directs the SBA to assist individuals with disabilities in becoming entrepreneurs or finding jobs at small businesses, while also helping small businesses hire them and address accessibility needs. The SBA must establish memoranda of understanding for these activities, conduct outreach, and submit a detailed report to Congress within two years on progress and future plans. The bill uses existing SBA resources without authorizing new funding, focusing on coordination and reporting to expand employment pathways.
