AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the hiring of individuals with disabilities by requiring the State Division of Oversight (SDO), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Office on Disability, to create standards for identifying and recruiting qualified applicants with disabilities for state agency contracts and grants. These standards will mandate a commitment to hiring people with disabilities and providing training to state employees involved in hiring decisions, referencing federal law 42 U.S.C. 12111 et seq., which pertains to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The SDO will be required to submit an annual report to legislative clerks by February 15th detailing their progress in developing and implementing these standards, as well as the number of individuals with disabilities employed by state agencies within executive offices. Additionally, the director will be responsible for adopting regulations to put these new requirements into effect.
