SB 77 - Under current law, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must pay sheltered workshops $13 multiplied by the number of 6-hour or longer days worked by handicapped workers. This act creates a graduated increase in payments to sheltered workshops. This act increases this payment so that, by July 1, 2010, and thereafter, the department shall pay $90 for each standard workweek of up to and including 30 hours worked during a month and $18 for each 6 hour or longer day worked on Saturdays or Sundays. Also, the workshop will receive a percentage of the amount normally paid based on the percentage of time worked for each handicapped worker employed for less than a 30-hour week or a 6-hour day on Saturdays or Sundays.
