July 1 hearing: Failed passage in committee. (Ayes 1. Noes 3. Page 5165.)
Summary
The resolution asks the U.S. Congress to pass a law that would prevent California employers from paying higher federal unemployment taxes when the state's debt to the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund grows because of shutdowns, extended shutdowns, or lapses in fraud prevention. It seeks to shield businesses from bearing the cost of the state's $20 billion‑plus debt, which has already pushed California's payroll tax rate far above other states.
