HB 235                                                                       
The bill provides an immediate effective date for sec. 6 of the bill, so       
that the department can begin the process of designing and securing            
federal approval for the demonstration projects.  The specific projects        
will take effect as the department receives federal demonstration              
project authority or makes a determination that waivers are no longer          
necessary because of changes in federal law.  The bill contains a              
July1, 2001 repeal date for the demonstration projects.                        
                                                                               
                                                                               
Sections 1, 2, 13, and 15 of the bill contain the provisions that allow        
the department to immediately implement the new AFDC eligibility               
requirement for unmarried minor parents.                                       
                                                                               
                                                                               
The demonstration projects proposed in this bill will enable the state         
to reshape its AFDC public assistance program to provide jobs for              
dependent families.  I urge your support of this bill.
