§ 8-84-203. Priority for Persons Who Are Blind - Licensing

The department shall issue licenses to persons who are blind and who are qualified to operate vending facilities, in accordance with the criteria used for the licensing of operators of vending facilities on federal property pursuant to section 8-84-107 and the federal "Randolph-Sheppard Vending Stand Act", as amended. In addition, the department may issue licenses to persons who are blind and who are qualified to own, operate, or own and operate a business other than a vending facility. In authorizing vending facilities or other businesses on state property, the department shall give priority to persons who are blind and who are licensed by the department in order to enlarge the economic opportunities of persons who are blind by providing remunerative employment and to stimulate persons who are blind to greater efforts in striving to make themselves self-supporting.
