3. Amend page 39, following line 2, by inserting: “Sec. 605. (1) From the funds appropriated in part 1 for the unemployment insurance grant program, $100,000,000.00 shall be used by the department of treasury, in coordination with the unemployment insurance agency, to create and operate a grant program for individuals who have applied for unemployment insurance benefits but who are currently experiencing a delay in receiving unemployment insurance benefits because of an unemployment insurance agency delay in determining eligibility and processing claims. The unemployment insurance agency shall work with the department of treasury as needed to assist with implementation of the grant program, which shall include assistance in identifying unemployment insurance applicants eligible to receive a grant under the unemployment insurance grant program. (2) The unemployment insurance grant program shall do all of the following: (a) Provide grants of $1,000.00 to individuals who have applied for unemployment insurance benefits but who are currently experiencing a delay in receiving unemployment insurance benefits because they are awaiting a determination by the unemployment insurance agency. (b) Prioritize the distribution of grants such that unemployment insurance applicants who are experiencing the longest delay are the first to receive a grant. (c) Ensure that grants are not provided to individuals with a claim that has been affirmatively identified as fraudulent. (3) The department of treasury may retain up to 1.0% of the appropriated funds in part 1 to administer the unemployment insurance grant program. (4) The department of treasury shall provide a biweekly report that provides updates on the implementation of the program, including updates on the distribution of payments. The reports shall be submitted to the senate and house appropriations committees, the senate and house fiscal agencies, and the state budget office.” The question being on the adoption of the amendments, Senator MacGregor requested the yeas and nays.
