Bill Summary
This bill requires the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services in the Department of Labor and Workforce Development and the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired in the Department of Human Services to conduct a case-by-case assessment of employment offered by community rehabilitation programs and community businesses, including but not limited to, work crews, call centers, employment through contracts under the New Jersey Rehabilitation Facilities Set-Aside Act, employment through AbilityOne contracts, and other independent work assignments to determine if the employment opportunity meets the criteria for "competitive integrated employment" under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The bill also prohibits the division and the commission from disqualifying work programs from being considered "competitiveintegrated employment" solely because the programs are provided through AbilityOne contracts or contracts under the "Rehabilitation Facilities Set-Aside Act," P.L.1991, c.147 (C.30:6-33 et al.).
