Introduced by: Patrick A. Hope | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Minimum wage; employees with disabilities. Provides that individuals with disabilities that are paid at subminimum wage pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and currently excluded from the Virginia Minimum Wage Act shall be excluded from the Virginia Minimum Wage Act only if those individuals are paid subminimum wage prior to July 1, 2023 by an employer that was authorized to pay a subminimum wage prior to July 1, 2023. This exclusion is in effect until July 1, 2030 when the exclusion is eliminated entirely. The bill also requires the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to (i) prioritize efforts to support individuals with disabilities who desire to transition from subminimum wage employment to competitive integrated employment and (ii) submit a report by May 1, 2024 to the Governor and the General Assembly on the number of individuals with disabilities employed in subminimum wage employment and the movement of individuals from subminimum wage employment to competitive integrated employment.
