A. The Virginia Employment Commission, in consultation with

potential revenue losses, in the form of decreased tax revenues, attributable
to projected impact on the solvency level of the unemployment trust fund
and the average increase in state unemployment tax liability of employers on a
per-employee basis over the ensuing eight years that would result from the
enactment of any bill that enhances the benefits payable to an individual
pursuant to Title 60.2.
B. No bill enhancing the benefits payable to an individual
pursuant to Title 60.2 shall be considered by the General Assembly at a regular

"enhancing enhances the benefits payable to a claimant
an individual" includes any legislation that would facilitate the
receipt, or increase the amount, of unemployment compensation benefits that an
otherwise qualified claimant is eligible to receive on an annual basis.
