> Original message from Joe Xavier:
> 
> The U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor have made proposed regulations intended to be officially published on April 16, 2015 available for review now. The proposed regulations are under the Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). 
> 
> The Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) began its review of the draft regulations when they became available yesterday afternoon. We urge everyone interested in advancing the employment, independence and equality of individuals with a disability to join DOR in reading the stated reasons and proposed regulations, and identifying any regulation that may make it more difficult to assist individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment.
> Find the advance copy of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), containing the draft regulations on the Federal Register
> 
> The draft regulations affecting individuals receiving services from DOR are available in PDF format in the following three documents below:

> Subminimum Wage
> 
> If you are interested in reviewing other regulations related to the four titles of WIOA, you may visit http://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection
> https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection.
> 
> We must assist our federal agencies in developing regulations that provide the flexibility we need in providing services, and in using our limited state and federal funds to meet the unique needs of our consumers. Once the regulations are officially published on April 16, 2015, we will all have 60 days to submit our comments to the federal departments for consideration before the federal agencies finalize the regulations. 
> 
> Together, through our public comments, we can help shape the law and avoid unintended consequences of fewer individuals going to work because of an overly restrictive new regulation, or because an existing regulation that creates a barrier to employment isn't modified. 
> 
> Collaboration is at the heart of all we do, including the implementation of WIOA. We are currently considering ways of sharing our preliminary review with you next month, including the possibility of a public forum or of posting a written summary of our review on our website. Please email us at <mailto:wioa at dor.ca.gov> wioa at dor.ca.gov to alert DOR of any provisions we should pay particular attention to, or for any questions about our approach to developing comments on the regulations.

The national Federation of the blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want. Blindness is not what holds you back.
