Workforce Dignity Act

Introduced·6/15/26

Workforce Dignity Act replaces "sheltered workshop" with "community rehabilitation program" in federal statutes.

The Workforce Dignity Act amends the Small Business Act, the Internal Revenue Code, title 40, and the Social Security Act to replace the term "sheltered workshop" with "community rehabilitation program." This change applies to programs for blind and handicapped individuals, federal employee preference, foster care programs, and tax deductions. The act ensures that the change in terminology does not alter the application of existing laws.
