Summary

This legislation seeks to update federal terminology by replacing the phrase "sheltered workshop" with "community rehabilitation program" across various statutes. This change is applied to provisions within the Small Business Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, title 40 of the United States Code, and title IV of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the bill amends sections related to programs for blind and handicapped individuals, deductions for personal exemptions, protection for veterans preference employees, and foster care programs. A key provision clarifies that this Act is solely intended to amend federal law to remove the outdated term without any intent to change the application or meaning of such law.
