Section 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.
