Page 573, line 30, after "unemployment." insert:

"For the purposes of this paragraph, signifcant increases in unemployment shall mean the unemployment rate is five percent or higher and is one-hundred and twenty percent of the average unemployment rate for the same 13-week period in the two previous years."



Explanation

(This amendment adds a definition for a significant increase in unemployment to determine the standard by which the Virginia Employment Commission can access a $30 million line of credit. This is consistent with the U.S. Department of Labor's standard for accessing extended unemployment benefits.)
