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 subminimum wages to workers with disabilities under 14(c) certificate programs. Its focus will be on transitioning 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 consist of eleven members, including representatives from various sectors such as government, disability advocacy, and private employers, and will be co-chaired by a member of the Oklahoma House and a member of the Oklahoma Senate.

The Task Force is required to submit a final report by January 1, 2028, detailing its findings and recommendations. Members will not receive compensation for their service but may be reimbursed for travel expenses if private funds are available. The bill also allows the Task Force to seek assistance from various state agencies and may contract with an independent consultant as needed, contingent on funding availability. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
