Explanation:
(This amendment restores $500,000 the first year and $894,000 the second year from the general fund for one category of employment services for individuals with disabilities currently under Order of Selection. Individuals are served based on the severity of their disability and put on a waiting list if sufficient funds are not available to serve all eligible individuals. As of November 15, 2008, no individuals are receiving employment placement services. Funding will open at least one category of the waiting list and help approximately 1,147 individuals receiving vocational rehabilitation services to get jobs.) |
