Ken Capone Equal Employment Act – 2019 Report
In October 2019, the Maryland Department of Disability (MDOD) and the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) released their third joint report outlining progress on the phase out of sub-minimum wage jobs and the use of 14c certificates. This phase out is supported through the Individuals with Disabilities – Minimum Wage and Community Integration, also known as the Ken Capone Equal Employment Act passed in 2016.
The MDOD and the DDA work with other relevant Maryland State agencies, including the Department of Commerce (MDOC), the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), the Department of Labor Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) and the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) to phase out sub-minimum wage jobs by Oct. 1, 2020.
