Rep. Glenn Grothman introduced the Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act, aimed at expanding job options for adults with disabilities.
The bill seeks to remove what Grothman called burdensome federal barriers that limit access to workplace environments suited to individuals’ needs, abilities and long-term success.
Grothman said those settings can provide stability, community, training, routine, transportation assistance and other support services that many families value.
Numerous organizations around the country endorsed the measure, which frames the issue as giving disabled adults more freedom to choose the work environment that fits them best.

As some states move to ban subminimum pay, why is this new bill preserving it?
