The Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act aims to phase out the practice of paying individuals with disabilities below minimum wage and transition them to competitive integrated employment where they can earn fair wages. The bill prohibits the issuance of new special wage certificates under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which allows subminimum wages. It promotes opportunities for individuals with disabilities to work in integrated settings alongside non-disabled peers. This legislation seeks to ensure equal pay and inclusion in the workforce for individuals with disabilities.
