The proposed legislation, Substitute Bill No. 5607, establishes a task force aimed at studying the potential 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 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 make initial appointments within thirty days of the bill's passage and hold its first meeting within sixty days. It will be chaired by the chairpersons of the labor and public employees committee, with administrative support provided by the same committee's staff. The task force must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027, after which it will be dissolved. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this task force and outlines its structure and responsibilities, while no existing legal language is deleted.
