Massachusetts H212 promotes employment for people with disabilities by requiring state agencies to prioritize contracts with qualified individuals.

Massachusetts H212 establishes the State Use Act to Promote Employment for People with Disabilities. It creates a council to oversee the procurement of services from qualified individuals and community rehabilitation programs. These programs must be nonprofit entities that employ at least 75% persons with disabilities in direct labor. The council will verify fair market prices for these services and ensure they are listed for state agencies and local public bodies.
