Rehabilitation Bill
‘Assemblyman. Gene Chappie,
Chairman of the Assembly Social. Welfare Committee, today introduced legislation
* geared to getting people off the
welfare roles-and into gainful
employment. Under the legislation introduced by Chappie,
the State Department of Rehabilitation will be responsible
for carrying out this program.
Chappie said, "This Department has been bogged down in
the past by a lack of direction
and because of its goals, which
were either too broad in scope
or not clearly defined. "
"The two bills”, -continued
Chappie, “pinpoint the responsibility with the Department
of Rehabilitation for giving full
attention to training the disadvantaged and disabled in marketable skills so that they may
become gainfully employed.
Further provisions of the bills
call for transferring certain
programs of the blind from the
Department of Rehabilitation to
the Department of Social Welfare. Results of this", said
Chappie, “will be that the Department of Rehabilitation will
concentrate its efforts in rehabilitation, particularly in contracting with private employers
to provide on-the-job training,
and with trade and vocational
schools, " :
"Particular attention", said
Chappie, “will be givento welfare recipients‘and those persons
who in the past have not been
provided with realistic training
programs, " .
Chappie pointed out that, “the
State of California ranks 54th
among the states and territories
of the United States for the
number of people rehabilitated
per 100, 000 population by the
Department of Rehabilitation,
As chairman of. the Assembly
Social Welfare Committee
Chappie stated, “the major
thrust of my efforts will be in
the area of rehabilitation and
re-training of Welfare recipients
and other disadvantaged persons, "
