Probably, Bgwah.


But I am kind of mad that no one commented on this:

In the previous thread, President Polnut preposed offering incentives to encourage people to retrain.

The current text allows people to remain on UI while doing that, but it doesn't really offer any incentives to do so. And it runs the risk of the person training for a nonexistant job.

This is an idea in the economics board I ran across:

4) Georgia Works. Georgians receiving unemployment benefits are matched with employers who are seeking employees and who agree to provide up to eight weeks of training. The employers do not pay the workers, who work no more than 24 hours a week; instead workers continue to receive their unemployment checks and a $240 stipend to help cover transportation, child care and other expenses.

We could include an incentive coupled with some form of employer matching to ensure they have a job waiting for them at the other end.


Probably be one more thing to address in a separate bill, later. Probably be more efficient to do it that way as well.

No sense creating an agency for a program we removed from the text (parenthood insurance).

Damn it, there are more problems in Sections 1, 2, and 3. Both from leftovers of the parenthold Insurance thing, and the health care administration that won't be needed as we are keeping the current systems.

We need to remove one more agency from Section 1, Clause 4. And then take every reference to "The five agencies" and instead say "the three agencies" in Sections 2 and 3. I can have an amendment by tomorrow sometime.

My only concern is to make sure all the amendments passed are successfully integrated into the text before we vote.


Other than that, barring what Napoleon has to say sparking a new perspective of the text (and thus further problems), I am finished.

Amendment:

Persons currently receiving benefits from programs set for repeal will continue to receive those benefits as if those programs were still in effect. Persons receiving benefits from repealed programs shall not receive benefits from the programs created in this law. Benefits from repealed programs shall be administered by the NSSA.

^ Is this a new section, a new clause to a current section? Let's try to keep the bill nice and pretty. Grin

(and of course, waiting for the sponsor's response)

I would suggest placing it as a loose hanging clause at the top of the bill like these are in the current text:

Does number 5 sound reasonable? It has to be after 2-4 since it references the NSSA.

Edit: Added that last sentence, otherwise, according to the precedent in the Currency act, such an amendment would erase the Sections 1-8. Wouldn't want that to happen. Tongue

If you repeal a law establishing a program, I don't think the program could legally be continued.

Clause 1 could be altered somewhat to reflect the changes in clause 5.
