Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
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 reductions for wages earned by the claimant during that week.
ILWU Local 142 submitted testimony in support of this measure. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to facilitate further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1774, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
