Labor; creating the Rethinking Paying Subminimal Wage to Persons with Disabilities Task Force; purpose; membership; reporting; effective date.
HB 1833 creates a task force to study Oklahoma's current system of paying subminimum wages to workers with disabilities under special certificates. The task force will directly affect disabled workers currently earning less than the state minimum wage through these certificates. Key provisions require the task force to include specific stakeholders (like disability advocates and employers), complete its work by November 2027, and submit recommendations to the legislature. The bill mandates a formal review of whether the subminimum wage system remains appropriate or needs reform.
