(c)Prohibit employers from reducing the wage rates prescribed by certificate in effect on June 1, 1986, for two years;

(d)Permit the continuance or establishment of work activities centers; and

(e)Provide that any employee receiving a special minimum wage rate pursuant to section 14(c), or the parent or guardian of such an employee, may petition for a review of that wage rate by an administrative law judge.
