The resolution highlights the significant number of working-age Alabamians with disabilities, exceeding 800,000, and emphasizes the importance of employment in fostering financial independence and community engagement for these individuals. It points out the stark disparity in employment rates, with only 38.1% of individuals with disabilities employed compared to 78.1% of those without disabilities, and notes that individuals with disabilities are more likely to live in poverty. The resolution expresses the Legislature's commitment to promoting the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in Alabama's workforce and ensuring they have access to employment opportunities in public service.

To address these issues, the resolution encourages all state agencies, departments, boards, and commissions to actively recruit, hire, and promote individuals with disabilities. It calls for these entities to review 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 reinforce this commitment to inclusivity in the workforce.
