What does this mean?
This bill ensures that all government wealth-creation programs, such as the Parish Development Model (PDM), automatically reserve a strict 15% quota specifically for enterprises run by persons with disabilities (PWDs). It removes the bureaucratic barriers PWDs face when applying for government grants and provides specialized financial training.
