In plain language

Fifty-six words creating the program and defining its subject. The Division of Equal Employment and Opportunity and Affirmative Action develops a fast track hiring and advancement process for qualified persons with significant disabilities. The definition is functional rather than diagnostic: a person with significant disabilities is one whose physical or mental impairments affect their ability to take part in the competitive hiring and promotion process in the State workforce. Nothing turns on a named condition, only on the effect it has on getting through the process.
