What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over the 2025-2030 period.

The $500,000 is just the federal administrative cost to implement the memorandum of understanding and produce reports; the policy's real impact is the coordination of existing federal resources to support employment and business formation for people with disabilities.
