OFCCP Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Posted on Fri, Jan 20, 2012
On December 8, 2011, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued proposed amendments to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Act requires all contractors and subcontractors ("contractors") who obtain federal contracts in excess of $10,000 to take affirmative action to employ qualified individuals with disabilities. The proposed OFCCP rules seek to strengthen Section 503 by imposing additional requirements upon qualified federal contractors.
