Asunto: Alerta Legislativa - 9 de abril, 2019
Estimados Compañeros Federacionistas:
Hemos tenido un estupendo comienzo en el 116º Congreso. Tenemos cuatro
proyectos de ley introducidos:
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo,
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
en la cámara y en
el Senado y
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
también en la Cámara y el Senado.
Llame a su representante y a los dos senadores e inste a que
copatrocinen estos dos proyectos de ley si aún no lo han hecho. Una
lista completa de los actuales
copatrocinadores se incluye al final de este correo electrónico. Un
resumen de los dos proyectos de ley sigue.
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo,
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act,
de la Cámara - H.R. 873 - Patrocinada por Bobby Scott (Demócrata-Virginia-3)
del Senado - S. 260 - Patrocinada por Bob Casey (Demócrata-Pennsylvania)
Estos proyectos de ley eliminarían la Sección 14(c) de
la Ley de Normas Laborales Justas,
Fair Labor Standards Act,
durante un período de seis años, momento en el cual la disposición sería
oficialmente terminada.
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
de la Cámara - H.R. 2086 - Patrocinada por Mike Thompson
(Demócrata-California-5)
del Senado - S. 815 - Patrocinada por John Boozman (Republicano-Arkansas)
Esta legislación elimina una barrera de empleo comúnmente experimentada
por los Estadounidenses ciegos que no pueden pagar el alto costo de
acceso tecnológico
al crear
un crédito fiscal reembolsable de $2.000 para compensar el costo de
estas tecnologías.
Cuando llame o envíe un correo electrónico, podría decir algo como lo
siguiente:
"Hola, me llamo [su nombre] y Soy un constituyente de [su
senador/representante]. vivo en [ciudad, estado]. llamo para instar [su
senador/representante]
a que copatrocine [S. 260, para llamadas al senado /H.R. 873, para
llamadas a la Cámara],
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act,
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo.
Este proyecto de ley eliminaría salarios
por debajo del salario mínimo para personas con discapacidad durante un
período de seis años, en cuyo caso, la Sección 14(c) de
la Ley de Normas Laborales Justas,
Fair Labor Standards Act,
La disposición que permite esta
práctica, sería terminada. Insto a [su senador / representante] a
copatrocinar el proyecto de ley.
También estoy llamando para instar a [su senador / representante] a
copatrocinar [S. 815, para llamadas al senado /H.R. 2086 para llamadas a

estas tecnologías. insto [su senador/representante] a copatrocinar el
proyecto de ley de acceso tecnológico asequible.

Dear Fellow Federationists:
We are off to a terrific start in the 116th Congress. We have four bills introduced: The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act in the House and Senate and the Access Technology Affordability Act, also in both the House and Senate.
Please call your representative and two senators and urge them to cosponsor these two bills if they have not already done so. A complete list of current cosponsors is included at the end of this email. A summary of the two bills follows.
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
House - H.R. 873 - Sponsored by Bobby Scott (D-VA-3)
Senate - S. 260 - Sponsored by Bob Casey (D-PA)
These bills would phase out Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act over a six-year period, at which point the provision would officially be sunset.
Access Technology Affordability Act
House - H.R. 2086 - Sponsored by Mike Thompson (D-CA-5)
Senate - S. 815 - Sponsored by John Boozman (R-AR)
This legislation removes an employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,000 to offset the cost of these technologies.
When you call or email, you might say something like the following:
"Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent of [your senator/representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 260 for Senate calls/H.R. 873 for House calls], the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act. This bill would phase out subminimum wages for people with disabilities over a six-year period, at which point Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the provision that allows this practice, would be sunset. I urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor the bill.
I am also calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 815 for Senate calls/H.R. 2086 for House calls], the Access Technology Affordability Act. This legislation removes an employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,000 to offset the cost of these technologies. I urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor the bill.
Thanks."
