House Bill No. 1833 establishes the Rethinking Paying Subminimal Wage to Persons with Disabilities Task Force in Oklahoma, which will operate until May 31, 2026. The Task Force is tasked with studying and developing a plan to phase out the practice of paying workers with disabilities subminimum wages under 14(c) certificate programs. It aims to transition these workers to competitive, integrated employment at or above minimum wage, while also considering alternative meaningful day programs for those who may not wish to transition. The Task Force will identify potential obstacles and develop a comprehensive plan that includes a timeline for phasing out subminimum wages.

The Task Force will consist of eleven members, including representatives from the Oklahoma House and Senate, disability advocacy organizations, and individuals with personal experience related to subminimum wage employment. Co-chaired by a member from each legislative chamber, the Task Force will meet as needed and is supported by various state departments. Members will not receive compensation but may be reimbursed for travel expenses if private funds are available. A final report detailing the Task Force's findings and recommendations is due by January 1, 2028, and the bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
