Illinois ends subminimum wage for disabled workers by 2029, aiming for wage equality.

Governor JB Pritzker signed the Dignity in Pay Act, phasing out subminimum wage for disabled workers in Illinois by 2029. The law aligns minimum wage for disabled workers with the regular state minimum wage, aiming to address fairness and equal pay. Indiana plans to end its subminimum wage program in 2027, redirecting funds to community employment services. Both states seek to enhance employment opportunities and support for individuals with disabilities.
