1. The Legislature finds and declares that persons with significant disabilities are an underrepresented and overlooked segment of the labor pool for consideration in public employment. The State should establish a fast track hiring and advancement employment opportunity program for qualified persons with significant disabilities. The program would enable appointing authorities to more effectively and efficiently hire, promote, retain, and advance qualified individuals whose physical or mental impairments impact their ability to participate in the competitive hiring and promotion process within the State workforce.
