The State Council on Developmental Disabilities sponsored a bill to create an Employment First Policy for California: The proposed bill (AB287) would require the Council to establish a standing Employment First Committee to identify strategies, best practices, and incentives, and to develop an Employment First Policy, the intended outcome of which is a significant increase in the number of people with developmental disabilities who are employed in integrated work, self employment, and microenterprises, and in the number earning wages at or above minimum wage.
