Library of Congress Summary

The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.

1/7/1997--Introduced.
Declares that no provision of State (unemployment compensation) law under which the State's base period is defined or otherwise determined shall be considered a provision for a method of administration subject to a Social Security Act requirement that methods of administration must be found by the Secretary of Labor to be reasonably calculated to insure full payment of unemployment compensation when due. Provides that, for purposes of this Act, "base period" and "State law" have the same meanings as under the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
