Amended UI Bill Gets Unanimous Support From Finance Committee
The Senate Finance Committee approved the amended unemployment insurance bill yesterday by a unanimous 11-0 vote (pdf).
“The Maryland Chamber thanks Chairman Mac Middleton and the entire Finance Committee for all their hard work,” Maryland Chamber President/CEO Kathy Snyder, CCE said. “We also thank our Unemployment Insurance Subcommittee Chairman Ron Adler and our Vice President of Government Affairs Allyson Black for working hard to get our concerns addressed.”
The Maryland Chamber supports the bill, which was amended to address a number of our concerns. The legislation will now be considered by the full Senate.
The Daily Record reported yesterday that House Economic Matters Committee Chairman Derek Davis said that he would move the Senate version of the bill, which he thinks is a good compromise.
