| 2014-01-07 | Extending Unemployment Benefits [S1845] | Agreed To (60-37) |
 |
 |
 |
| This bill would have continued to extend "emergency" unemployment benefits after many previous extensions that in some cases extended benefits for just under two years. | |||||
| 2014-01-16 | Omnibus Appropriations [HR3547] | Agreed To (72-26) |
|
|
|
| This $1.1 trillion spending bill for Fiscal Year 2014 increased spending by $45 billion over the Budget Control Act of 2011 with massive increases of 25- 29% for Obama Administration programs in the Interior-Environment, Labor-HHS-Education and State Department sections. It also included bills that have nothing to do with appropriations, such as an extension of flood insurance subsidies. ACU opposes these bills that are written in secret and passed with no amendments allowed. | |||||
| 2014-01-30 | Flood Insurance [S1926] | Rejected (34-65) |
|
|
|
| Toomey (R-PA) amendment to the flood insurance extension bill, which would have phased in a reduction in government subsidies for flood insurance. ACU supported this compromise proposal to phase out a program that encourages development in flood-prone areas. | |||||
| 2014-01-30 | Regulation Opt-Out [S1926] | Rejected (24-75) |
|
|
|
| Coburn (R-OK) amendment to the flood insurance extension bill, which would have allowed states to opt out of the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers, a new regulatory body created by Congress. | |||||
| 2014-02-03 | Farm Bill [HR2642] | Agreed To (72-22) |
|
|
|
| This bill is the final version of the farm bill that replaces direct payments to farmers with a more expensive increase in crop insurance subsidies with no caps on subsidies for wealthy farm corporations. ACU has long opposed these Depression-era programs. | |||||
