TO RECOMMEND THAT AGENCIES OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, IN COOPERATION WITH THE STATE AGENCY OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION, EMPLOY QUALIFIED PERSONS WITH HANDICAPPING CONDITIONS AS TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT EMPLOYEES.
Whereas, the citizens of the State of South Carolina who have handicapping conditions are significantly more likely to be unemployed than are nonhandicapped citizens; and
Whereas, the State Agency of Vocational Rehabilitation provides training in a variety of professional and technical fields for persons with handicapping conditions; and
Whereas, it is appropriate for agencies of the State of South Carolina to take the initiative to employ qualified persons with handicapping conditions, trained by the State Agency of Vocational Rehabilitation or other agencies with job training programs, for temporary and permanent positions when available. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly recommend that agencies of the State of South Carolina, in cooperation with the State Agency of Vocational Rehabilitation and other agencies with job training programs, employ qualified persons with handicapping conditions as temporary and permanent employees when positions are available.
