Pritzker order aims to end subminimum wage for disabled people in state contracts – Capitol News IL

Pritzker said the order requires state agencies currently contracting with vendors that pay a subminimum wage to renegotiate those contracts. “To be clear, this wage increase will not cost any employee their job. As we move forward, the state will work with its vendors to ensure that they have the tools they need to continue providing people with disabilities an opportunity to engage in meaningful work with standard pay.”
