2015 Bill(s)

* HB 150
Sponsor: Fitzpatrick, Scott
Status: GOVERNOR VETOED
Description: Lower of weeks a person can get unemployment benefits when the unemployment rate drops. During periods when unemployment drops below 6 percent, the maximum number of weeks for benefits would be cut from 20 weeks to 13 weeks. Nixon charged reduction would inflict additional pain on persons out of work. The Surpeme Court struck down the Senate override vote in the veto session because since the bill was vetoed early enough in the regular session that the override had to be in the regular session, as the House did.

See:	House roll call - HB 150 (05/12/2015): Adoption of a motion to override the governor's veto of a bill that would reduce the number of weeks of unemployment compensation during periods of high employment. House roll call - HB 150 (04/21/2015): 3rd reading and final passage of the Senate version of a House passed bill to provide a mechanism for reducing unemployment compensation benefits. Senate roll call - HB 150 (04/15/2015): 3rd reading of a bill to restrict unemployment compensation benefits. House roll call - HB 150 (02/04/2015): 3rd reading of a bill to reduce unemployment benefits when the unemployment rate declines.

Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
