Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to provide for fair pay and maximized employment of disabled persons; create a state "Employment First" policy that encourages agencies to facilitate employment of disabled persons; establish a task force to initiate these policies; provide for the DHHR Bureau for Behavioral Health, Division of Rehabilitation Services, Department of Education, Department of Health's Bureau for Medical Services (State Medicaid Agency) and Workforce WV to implement the policy; and remove current exemption for paying minimum wages to persons in nonprofit workshops.
This Legislation will have no fiscal impact on the Department as the bill directs the Director of the Division of Rehabilitation Services to establish a taskforce for the purpose of developing recommendations on implementation of an Employment First Policy.
