A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO MEMORIALIZE CONGRESS TO ENACT THE AMENDMENT TO THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT WHICH RAISES THE EXEMPTION TO ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR MONEY EARNED AND WHICH WOULD BENEFIT POLL MANAGERS IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

Whereas, Public Law 101-508 (Omnibus Reconciliation Act) amended the social security requirements to require that part-time employees, such as poll managers, would be required to come under the Social Security law and have deductions made from their income; and

Whereas, an amendment to the Older Americans Act has passed the United States House of Representatives and, pending consideration in the United States Senate, would raise the exemption to one thousand dollars benefiting these part-time employees; and

Whereas, the passage of this amendment would greatly aid part-time employees in the upcoming elections; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly express their desire to the South Carolina Congressional Delegation, especially Senators Hollings and Thurmond, that they vote for the passage of this amendment. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly memorialize the United States Congress to enact the amendment to the Older Americans Act which raises the exemption to one thousand dollars for money earned and which would benefit poll managers in the upcoming elections.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.
