By RYAN VAN VELZER
A bill limiting unemployment benefits for Kentuckians passed out of a Senate committee Tuesday despite bi-partisan concern that the bill could harm unemployed Kentuckians and their communities.
House Bill 4 would add new work search requirements, reduce the number of weeks Kentuckians can collect unemployment benefits and tie those benefits to the unemployment rate, which could further shorten the time frame Kentuckians are eligible for the money.
