Republican Sen. Don Gaetz wants to the Office of Vocational Rehab to do better when it comes to placing people with disabilities in jobs.
Monday the Senate’s Higher Education Committee approved a bill requiring vocational rehabilitation to develop a performance improvement plan and submit an annual report card to the Governor and legislature.
“Most of this was passed last year,” Gaetz explained.”The performance provisions would expire July 1 2016 unless the legislature codifies them and that’s why this bill is before you, to codify those performance measurements.”
