Honorable Robert Bunda

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to encourage eligible claimants of unemployment insurance to seek gainful employment by permitting claimants to receive their weekly benefit amount without regard to earnings received from employment. In addition, this bill allows federal Reed Act funds to be used to offset anticipated increases in unemployment insurance claims.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date from July 1, 2040, to July 1, 2004; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive revisions for purposes of clarity, style, and conformity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
