PA HB487

Prohibits the Pennsylvania Department of General Services from entering new state contracts that utilize Federal 14(c) subminimum wage certificates immediately upon enactment, with a complete ban on 14(c) certificates in existing contracts two years after the effective date

Requires integrated work environments for employees with disabilities on state contracts within two years, meaning workers must interact with coworkers, customers, vendors, or the general public who are not persons with disabilities (not just supervisors or job coaches)

Reduces the direct labor ratio requirement from 75% to 51% for both the proportion of workers with disabilities performing direct labor and the percentage of contract payments going toward wages/salaries and overhead costs for disability agencies

Mandates annual compliance reviews for contracts exceeding $300,000, including assessments of appreciable contribution requirements, with site visits at least every five years or upon credible allegations of violations

Updates definitions to broaden eligibility, replacing specific categories (visually impaired, mentally retarded, physically disabled) with "individuals with a physical or mental impairment that presents a substantial impediment to employment"
