Labor Keeps Disability Hiring Records Rules for Contractors
Published Date: 4/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The Department of Labor is asking for public feedback on keeping their current recordkeeping rules for federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act. These rules help make sure contractors support people with disabilities, and no changes are planned—just an extension. Comments are open until May 26, 2026, and this process won’t cost businesses extra money or add new paperwork.
