This was just brought to my attention and I need help in understanding what exactly this Bill/Amendment is about.
I tried calling over to the House of Representatives .. but they said there was no one there to help explain the details of this bill/amendment.
They suggested I go to Thomas.gov .. but I already did that.
Can any FReepers out there help direct me in the right direction and find a better way to locate what this is?
Thanks !

Noprob, Nopard!!!
I'm just surprised this hasn't gotten bigger play...Seattle paper seems to be it for now....
If it is sponsored by Inslee, it can't be good. Why not call his office and ask him?
I knew a person who put a significant amount of money in a 401K plan (I think it was) with the understanding (I don't know the rules) that under an emergency an early draw had no penalties. Subsequently, the person discovered he was terminal and he could not get the money without paying the penalty. If the fact you are going to die is not an emergency then I guess I don't know what emergency means. He had medical expenses, probably disability retirement (which took time and was reduced) and no longer a pay check.
Changing the rules for ONE person is not right. Rules are rules and should apply to all no matter WHO you are! Valerie Plame can pound sand.

Howlin, you are so right! Thanks for the ping.
Mo1 and RabidBartender, thanks for 'outing' this outrageous effort!

Thanks! Put the link on my home page.
Noticed that Upton of MI has one of these 'private bills' and Levin has two of them. The text isn't yet available.
After that, I get lost.
socks off, peeing in my pants.
Thanx! And here I thought I was denser than usual, trying to figure out how you connected PIMP with Joe! ;o)
