The resolution highlights the significant number of working-age Alabamians with disabilities, exceeding 800,000, and emphasizes the importance of employment for these individuals in achieving financial independence and community engagement. It points out the stark disparity in employment rates between individuals with disabilities (38.1%) and those without (78.1%), as well as the higher poverty rates faced by the former group. The Alabama Legislature expresses its commitment to promoting the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the workforce and recognizes the state's responsibility to provide them with access to employment opportunities in public service.

In response, the resolution encourages all state agencies, departments, boards, and commissions to actively recruit, hire, and advance individuals with disabilities. It calls for these entities to assess their hiring practices to identify and eliminate any non-job-related barriers that may hinder the employment of individuals with disabilities. Upon passage, a copy of the resolution will be distributed to each state agency to ensure awareness and compliance with these directives.
