Consideration postponed
Motion
by
To challenge a whether an amendment by Sen. Ray Basham is germane (meaning is it relevent to the bill). The amendment proposes using the fines and fees proposed by the bill to pay for a $30 increase in the maximum weekly unemployment insurance benefit, which is now $362 per week (see House Bill 5763 of 2002), if the state unemployment rate is above five percent. A yes vote would allow the amendment to go forward, and a no vote would kill it.
