BILL NUMBER: S3430 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend chapter 415 of the laws of 1913, relating to establishing a state commission for the blind and visually handicapped, in relation to the operation of vending facilities PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : Amendment to the mini Randolph Sheppard act of 1992, an act which created the Business Enterprise Program. The bill seeks to increase employment opportunities for members of the Business Enterprise Program. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : SEE BILL. JUSTIFICATION : The Business Enterprise Program (BEP) was established as way to provide people who are visually impaired with jobs as retail facility managers in state buildings. However, due to recent government down-sizing and other reasons, job opportunities for B.E.P members in this regard have decreased by 25%. In order to expand and improve job opportunities for blind vendors, this measure would remove several restrictions in the original act.
