Evidence
Last Action Date Listed May 12, 2026. Action: Mr. Grothman (for himself, Mrs. Wagner, and Mr. Owens) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. Short Title: Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act. Full Title: To amend the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure workplace choice and opportunity for young adults with disabilities.
Congressman Glenn Grothman introduced the Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act, legislation aimed at protecting work opportunities and expanding employment choice for adults with disabilities. The bill would remove burdensome federal barriers that currently prevent many adults with disabilities from accessing workplace environments that best fit their individual needs, abilities, and long-term success at facilities like Green Valley Enterprises in Beaver Dam, WI., and Opportunities Inc in Fort Atkinson, WI.
Assessments
Grothman introduced H.R. 8736, the Restoration of Employment Choice for Adults with Disabilities Act, in May 2026 to protect workplace choice and preserve work-center employment options for adults with disabilities. However, the evidence shows only bill introduction and committee referral, not enactment or an implemented federal policy keeping those work centers open. This qualifies as a serious same-term legislative attempt, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
