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.
