SB 510

Current law requires the Department of Workforce Development to run a

supervised business initiatives program and provide vocational training to

individuals with severe disabilities who are eligible for vocational rehabilitation

services. Under the program, DWD may own, lease, manage, supervise, or operate

businesses for the benefit of participants, with the goal of enabling persons with

severe disabilities to operate their own businesses. Current law also requires DWD

to promulgate rules to establish a formula for charging a portion of the expense of

the supervised business initiatives program to each business operating under the

program. This bill repeals the requirement for DWD to run the supervised business

initiatives program.
