Governor Laura Kelly signed Senate Bill 15, bipartisan legislation that facilitates employment opportunities for Kansans with disabilities. SB 15 creates the Disability Employment Act, which expands an income tax credit for goods and services purchased from qualified businesses that employ disabled workers and that pay those workers at least the minimum wage. The bill also creates the Sheltered Workshop Transition Grant Program, a matching grant program that transitions employers away from a federal policy that allows them to pay Kansans with disabilities less than minimum wage. Businesses that pay Kansans with disabilities less than minimum wage are not eligible for the Disability Employment Act tax credit.
