The Workforce Dignity Act updates federal language across multiple laws by replacing the term "sheltered workshop" with "community rehabilitation program." The bill makes this terminology change in the Small Business Act, the Internal Revenue Code, federal procurement law, and the Social Security Act. The change affects programs serving blind and severely disabled individuals, tax deductions for personal exemptions, veteran employment protections, and foster care services. The legislation clarifies that this is a terminology update only and does not alter how these programs actually operate or function. The bill was introduced in June 2026 and referred to the House Committees on Ways and Means, Small Business, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
