§ 139-c. Sheltered workshops. Any municipal corporation may equip and maintain sheltered workshops established by any non-profit organization chartered by the board of regents and approved by the state education department for the purpose of providing suitable training and retraining for work for persons who, because of age, chronic physical illness or impairments, cannot find training, retraining or remunerative work elsewhere. The state education department shall make such rules and regulations for the operation and use of such sheltered workshops as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this act, except that such rules and regulations shall not contravene rules and regulations to be made by the department of labor with regard to wages, hours of work, conditions of work and other matters now under the jurisdiction of such department.
