H.R. 9315: Workforce Dignity Act
This bill would change several federal laws by replacing the term sheltered workshop
with community rehabilitation program
. It applies this wording change in laws covering:
- Small Business Act provisions involving purchases from programs for blind and severely handicapped individuals
- A task force related to those purchases
- Tax rules for certain dependency exemptions
- Federal rules protecting veterans preference employees
- Social Security Act provisions related to foster care programs
The bill also says it should be interpreted as a wording change only, and is not intended to change how the underlying laws work. In other words, it updates the terminology used in federal law without changing the legal effect of those provisions.
