TO URGE THE ARKANSAS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT TAX ACT TO WAIVE THE "REASONABLE ASSURANCE" CLAUSE.

SCR 3 is a concurrent resolution urging the Arkansas congressional delegation to propose an amendment to the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. The proposed amendment would waive the "reasonable assurance" clause, which currently prevents hourly nine-month employees of educational institutions from receiving unemployment benefits during the summer months. This change would allow these employees, including bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and paraprofessionals, to be eligible for such benefits.
