Washington - Congresswoman Kimberlyn King-Hinds has introduced her first bill, H.R.1797, to amend the Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 and include the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in federal employment service programs. The legislation ensures that workers in the CNMI receive the same employment assistance, job training, and labor exchange services currently available in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
U.S. Congresswoman Kimberlyn King-Hinds said she will introduce a bill for a $400 million federal bailout as requested by Gov. Arnold I. Palacios.
But in a press conference on Thursday, the governor said he was not asking for a bailout, but for “repurposing” a total of $414 million in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation funds allocated for the CNMI but were unused.
“I think our congresswoman misspoke and used a word that does not necessarily portray what we are trying to do,” Palacios said.
