SB 55 ends the practice of paying people with disabilities less than the minimum wage in Georgia. Right now, some employers use a federal rule (called a 14(c) certificate) that allows them to pay workers with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage. This bill would phase out that rule, making sure all workers with disabilities get paid fairly. By July 1, 2026, employers must pay at least half of the federal minimum wage, and by July 1, 2027, they must pay at least the full minimum wage.
