[NFBMO] FW: Kansas Gov. signs bill to start to eliminate minimum wage for those with disabilities

[GeneCoulter@Charter.Net]

When I read the article  it appears the title is misleading. The article appears
to say that the bill would incentivize employers to pay at least the minimum wage
with tax credit benefits.
Kelly noted that the bill creates the Disability Employment Act to expand an
income tax credit for goods and services bought from qualified businesses that
employ disabled workers and that pay those workers at least the minimum wage.

The Governor indicated that the bill also creates the Sheltered Workshop
Transition Grant Program, a matching grant program that helps move employers away
from a federal policy that allows them to pay those with disabilities less than
minimum wage. Those who do pay Kansans with disabilities less than minimum wage
will not be eligible for the Disability Employment Act tax credit.
