Lets adults with disabilities aged 18 or older choose subminimum wage jobs if they want them.
This bill would change federal rules about who can work for a subminimum wage. It would allow adults with disabilities aged 18 or older to choose these jobs, as long as they agree to it. The bill also updates other age requirements and creates new rules for employers and state agencies.
Today, federal law generally prevents individuals aged 24 or younger with disabilities from being paid a subminimum wage unless specific conditions are met. This bill would change that, allowing any individual aged 18 or older to work for a subminimum wage if they choose to accept the job. It would also adjust other age references in the law from 24 to 17 for certain requirements.
