The bill S.6, introduced by Senators Clarkson, Major, and White, seeks to amend current labor laws by repealing the authority of the Commissioner of Labor to recommend a subminimum wage specifically for individuals with disabilities. The proposed changes include the removal of language that allows for a different wage scale for persons with disabilities, while maintaining the ability to recommend wage rates for learners and apprentices.

The bill emphasizes the intention to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not subjected to lower wage standards compared to their peers. If enacted, this legislation will take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a commitment to equitable employment practices within the state of Vermont.
