Bill Summary

Relative to the employment of persons with disabilities on state contracts. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 7 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that any contract for services in the Commonwealth that receives state funding must employ up to 10% of individuals with disabilities within the contract. The bill defines individuals with disabilities as those with severe physical or mental impairments that seriously limit functional capacities and require multiple vocational rehabilitation services over an extended period. The percentage requirement will be phased in over a five-year period, starting at 2% in 2021 and reaching 10% by 2025. The Supplier Diversity Office, in consultation with the Massachusetts Office on Disability, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, will be responsible for implementing and regulating this law.
