House Bill No. 5607 establishes a task force aimed at studying the elimination of the subminimum wage for persons with disabilities, as defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1937. The task force will assess the potential benefits and barriers associated with this change, as well as explore possible solutions. It will consist of various members, including chairpersons and ranking members from relevant legislative committees, appointed individuals with expertise in disability employment, and several state commissioners or their designees. The task force is required to submit a report on its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027, and will be dissolved upon submission of this report or on that date, whichever is later.

The bill includes specific insertions and deletions to clarify its provisions. Notably, it adds language to specify that the subminimum wage is established under the Fair Labor Standards Act and modifies the titles of certain committees for consistency. The task force is expected to convene its first meeting within sixty days of the bill's passage, and there are no anticipated fiscal impacts on the state or municipalities as the task force is equipped to handle its responsibilities without additional funding.
