Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 2153 updates the policy regarding the alternative application process for employment of individuals with disabilities in Virginia. The key change is that it now explicitly includes people who are already employed by the state, giving them equal opportunities to apply for a Certification of Disability. This change matters because it ensures that existing employees with disabilities have the same rights and chances as new applicants, promoting inclusivity in the workplace.
