(d)Guarantee of a fair minimum return.
(e)The establishment and maintenance of retirement or pension funds, health insurance contributions, and provision for paid sick leave and vacation time, if it is so determined by a majority vote of blind vendors licensed by the licensing agency, after such agency provides to each such vendor information on all matters relevant to such proposed purposes.
203.7The licensing agency shall set out the method of determining the charge for each of the purposes listed in subsection 203.6 of this section, which will be determined with the active participation of the Blind Vendors Committee and which will be designed to prevent, so far as is practicable, a greater charge for any purpose than is reasonably required for that purpose.
