Provides that the Department of Human Services shall exclude, from the 60-month limit on cash grants, months in which the adult receiving assistance: is the primary caregiver for a child in the assistance unit under the age of one or a disabled family member; has a pending application for federal Supplemental Security Income benefits and meets other criteria; needs assistance as determined by the Department to engage in activities to address a domestic violence situation to an extent inconsistent with sustained employment; or is employed and earning income or engaged in self-employment activities for an average of 20 hours per week. Effective immediately. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes from the bill language that excluded, from the 60-month limit on cash grants, months in which the adult receiving assistance: is the primary caregiver for a child in the assistance unit under the age of one; has a pending application for Supplemental Security Income; needs assistance as determined by the Department to engage in activities to address a domestic violence situation to an extent inconsistent with sustained employment; or is employed and earning income or engaged in self-employment activities for an average of 20 hours per week. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Human Services) The annualized cost would be $5,199,397. This cost may be re- duced, assuming some portion of the population would be in- cluded in the 20% exemption as stated in the federal welfare reform law. STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) HB 2021 (H-am 1) does not create a State mandate. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Deletes everything. Reinserts the contents of the bill as amended, except that the Department shall not count months only if the adult receiving assistance is the primary caregiver for a disabled child (rather than a disabled family member). 99-02-19 H FILED WITH CLERK 99-02-19 H FIRST READING 99-02-19 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-02-24 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE HUMAN SERVS 99-03-03 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-HUMAN SERVS H 99-03-03 H ADOPTED 99-03-03 H DO PASS AMENDED/SHORT DEBATE 013-000-000 HHSV 99-03-03 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-04 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED AS AMENDED BLACK 99-03-04 H STATE MNDT FISCAL NOTE RQSTD AS AMENDED BLACK 99-03-04 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-04 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR GASH 99-03-15 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-FEIGENHOLTZ 99-03-15 H AMENDMENT REFERRED TO HRUL 99-03-15 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-16 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-16 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 99-03-18 H FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND #1 99-03-18 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-FEIGENHOLTZ 99-03-18 H RULES REFERS TO HHSV 99-03-18 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 99-03-19 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-FEIGENHOLTZ 99-03-19 H RECOMMENDS BE ADOPTED HHSV/010-000-000 99-03-19 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 99-03-22 H STATE MNDT FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND #1 99-03-22 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 99-03-23 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-FEIGENHOLTZ 99-03-23 H ADOPTED 99-03-23 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-03-26 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 01-01-09 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
