Asunto: Alerta Legislativa - 22 de Julio, 2019
Estimada Familia de la Federación:
La Cámara de Representantes irá a su descanso anual de agosto al final
de esta semana. El Senado irá a su descanso de agosto al final de la
siguiente semana. Necesitamos construir todo el apoyo de copatrocinador
que podamos antes de que esto ocurra.
Llame a su representante y a los dos senadores e ínstelos a ser
copatrocinadores de
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo,
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
y
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
Si aún no lo han hecho. Al final de este correo electrónico se incluye
una lista completa de los copatrocinadores actuales. Un resumen de los
dos proyectos de ley
sigue.
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo,
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
Cámara de Representantes - H.R. 873 - Patrocinado por Bobby Scott
(Demócrata-Virginia-3)
Senado - S. 260 - Patrocinado por Bob Casey (Demócrata-Pennsylvania)
Estos proyectos de ley eliminarían gradualmente la Sección 14(c) de
La Ley de Normas Laborales Justas,
Fair Labor Standards Act,
durante un período de seis años, en el cual
la disposición oficialmente caducaría.
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico,
Access Technology Affordability Act
Cámara de Representantes - H.R. 2086 - Patrocinado por Mike Thompson
(Demócrata-California-5)
Senado - S. 815 - Patrocinado 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 creando
un crédito fiscal reembolsable por una cantidad de $ 2.000 para
compensar el costo de estas tecnologías.
Cuando llame o envíe un correo electrónico, puede decir algo como lo
siguiente:
"Hola, me llamo [su nombre] y Soy un constituyente de [su
senador/representante]. vivo en [ciudad, estado]. Estoy llamando a
instar [su senador/representante]
a copatrocinar [S. 260 para llamadas al Senado/H.R. 873 para llamadas a
la Cámara de Representantes],
La Ley de Transformación a Empleo Competitivo,
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act.
Este proyecto de ley eliminaría gradualmente pagos
salariales por debajo del salario mínimo para personas con
discapacidades durante un período de seis años, en el cual la Sección
14(c) de
La Ley de Normas Laborales Justas,
Fair Labor Standards Act,
la disposición que permite esta
práctica caducaría. Ínsto [su senador/representante] a copatrocinar el
proyecto de ley.
También estoy llamando a instar [su senador/representante] a
copatrocinar [S. 815 para llamadas al Senado/H.R. 2086 para llamadas a
la Cámara],
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico,
Access Technology Affordability Act.
Esta legislación elimina una barrera de empleo comúnmente experimentada
por los estadounidenses ciegos que no pueden pagar el alto costo de acceso
tecnológico creando
un crédito fiscal reembolsable por una cantidad de $ 2.000 para
compensar el costo de estas tecnologías. Ínsto [su
senador/representante] a copatrocinar el proyecto de ley.
Gracias."
Puede ponerse en contacto con su miembro del Congreso llamando al panel
de control del Capitolio y solicitando la oficina en cuestión. El número
es 202-224-3121. Si envía un correo electrónico
a su representante o senadores, favor enviar una copia a Gabe Cazares al

Dear Federation Family:
The House of Representatives will go on its annual August break at the
end of this week. The Senate will go on its August break at the end of
the following week. We need to build as much cosponsor support as we can
before this occurs.
Please call your representative and two senators and urge them to
cosponsor the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act and the
Access Technology Affordability Act 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."
You can contact your member of Congress by calling the Capitol
Switchboard and asking for the office in question. The number is
202-224-3121. If you email your representative or senators, please copy
