Workforce Dignity Act
The Workforce Dignity Act updates federal laws to replace the term "sheltered workshop" with "community rehabilitation program" across various statutes. This change directly affects government programs and regulations related to employment for blind and disabled individuals, as well as tax deductions and veteran preference rules. The bill amends specific sections of the Small Business Act, Internal Revenue Code, and Social Security Act to ensure consistent terminology throughout these legal frameworks. By standardizing the language, the legislation aims to modernize references without altering the underlying application of existing laws.
