Learn About House Bill 225

The Ohio Employment First and Greater Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (HB225) 

Ohio is taking steps to phase out subminimum wage. House Bill 225 is more than legislation, it's a commitment to fair pay.

Join an HB 225 Informational Session

Whether you're a worker, family member, business, policymaker, or advocate, these sessions are designed to help you understand what the bill means, and how it affects you.

What HB Does: 

*	Phases out subminimum wage across Ohio, with support for providers, workers, and families 
*	Ensures fair wages for people with disabilities in all employment settings 
*	Offers tax credits to businesses that hire and pay equitably 
*	Strengthens Employment First Task Force to help businesses to make that shift 


Who Should Join:

*	Families whose loved ones are currently paid below minimum wage 
*	Businesses operating under subminimum wage certificates 
*	Advocates and community leaders working to ensure wage equity for all people with disabilities 
*	Policymakers shaping the future of fair pay and inclusive employment in Ohio 

Why It Matters:

Subminimum wage is not just outdated, it's unjust. HB 225 ensures that all Ohioans regardless of disability, are valued for their contributions and compensated fairly.

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
