| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| This legislation, if approved, will allow Maine's Employment Security Law to remain in conformity with section 303 of the Social Security Act. Being out of conformity with this Act would jeopardize the State's employment security administrative grants. The Bureau of Unemployment Compensation received $13,700,000 in administrative grants in 2004-2005. Other employment security programs within the Department of Labor, including the Bureau of Employment Services and the Division of Labor Market Information Services could also lose administrative funding. | |||||||||
