Gov. Reestablishes Rehabilitation Council
Governor Edwards reestablished the State Rehabilitation Council saying that it is in the best interests of the citizens to continue providing those with disabilities vocational rehabilitation services and programs. The move was by Executive Order last month.
The Order noted that the federal law provides the state with financial assistance to promote effective programs of vocational rehabilitation under both the Rehabilitation Act and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014.
The duties of the Council are to review, analyze and advise the Louisiana Workforce Commission, Office of Rehabilitation Services, and evaluate the effectiveness of various programs.
