| 2009-01-09 | Wage Discrimination [HR11] | Passed (247-171) |
 |
 |
 |
| The House passed a bill that overturned a U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring the filing of pay discrimination cases within a reasonable period of time. The bill extended the time limit for employees to file discrimination cases to within 180 days of the last paycheck affected by the discrimination, rather than the date the discrimination occurred. | |||||

|
|
|
| The House passed a bill to more than double spending on the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and raises taxes to pay for it. States could insure pregnant women and children of legal immigrants and families up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level. Although the program was designed for poor children, the bill prohibits HHS from requiring poor children to be covered first. | |||||

| The House gave final approval to a bill providing $787 billion, mostly in the form of government spending on programs that will take a number of years to implement, in an effort to stimulate the economy.

|
|
|
| The House voted to establish a new $4 billion program under which the Department of Transportation would buy old cars from people for up to $4,500 each, so that people could buy new, more fuel-efficient cars.

|
