CPSD Co-Chairs’ Letter Opposing Loosened Limits on 14(c)

Published May 21, 2026

A May 2026 disability-advocacy letter opposing a U.S. bill that would alter federal safeguards around subminimum wages.

This is a dated U.S. disability-policy advocacy letter from the Collaboration to Promote Self-Determination (CPSD), dated May 20, 2026. The coalition opposed H.R. 8736, the Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act, arguing that the proposal could weaken safeguards related to subminimum wages for workers with disabilities.

The letter represents the position of its signatories. It is not neutral legal advice, a clinical resource, or a current account of the bill’s status. Its original call for a committee vote should be understood in its May 2026 context; the House Committee on Education and the Workforce ordered the bill reported on May 21, 2026.

For current legal, benefits, or employment-rights questions, consult an appropriately qualified disability-rights organization or attorney and verify the current legislative record.
