American Jobs Act language on new cause of action against employers

To help readers see for themselves what is in the American Jobs Act concerning employer discrimination based upon the status of applicants as unemployed, we have uploaded the provisions of the AJA as transmitted to Congress.  It is unclear if the actual bill will be introduced with that name because a Republican Member of Congress, Rep. Louie Gohmert, introduced his own bill using the same name, which adopts the method of eliminating the corporate income tax and corporate AMT as its way to encourage hiring in the U.S.  Congressional rules do allow multiple bills to be introduced with identical names, but it is worth watching out for such duplication.
