Impact
If implemented effectively, HR65 would enhance opportunities for people with disabilities, ensuring they can earn a livable wage while maintaining their benefits. By urging agencies to coordinate their hiring practices and programs, the resolution aims to create a more inclusive workforce that prioritizes employment for individuals with disabilities, marking a significant policy shift within the state's approach to disability employment.
Summary
House Resolution 65 (HR65) requests state and county agencies in Hawaii to adopt 'employment first' principles within their hiring practices and programs. This resolution underscores a shift towards providing jobs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, promoting their inclusion in the general workforce as the preferred option. It reflects Hawaii's ongoing efforts to remove barriers to employment for these individuals and emphasizes the importance of competitive employment in integrated settings.
Contention
While HR65 advocates for the integration of individuals with disabilities into the workforce, it makes it clear that it does not mandate employers to prioritize hiring these individuals above all else. This aspect could raise discussions regarding the balance between promoting employment and ensuring equal opportunities for all prospective employees. The resolution emphasizes the collaborative effort required from various agencies to support this initiative, indicating that further attention may be needed to address the practical implementation of these principles across different employment sectors.
