Discrimination

The National Federation of the Blind has applauded the April 15 passage of
S.B. 47 by the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The bill was
unanimously passed by the New Hampshire Senate on March 5. If Governor
Hassan signs the bill, state law RSA 279:22, which previously allowed
entities to pay people with disabilities less than the minimum wage, will be
repealed. New Hampshire will be the first state to have a law that
"prohibits employers from employing individuals with disabilities at an
hourly rate lower than the federal minimum wage." For more information on
this important bill, please read
