AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 30(c) of Chapter 151A of the General Laws, which likely pertains to unemployment benefits and vocational training. Specifically, it seeks to change the "fifteenth" day to the "twentieth" day in two instances within the law, and also changes the number "15" to "20" in another part of the same section. These changes suggest an extension of a timeframe, possibly related to when an individual can apply for or receive benefits or training opportunities. Additionally, the bill introduces language allowing for the waiver of application requirements for good cause, indicating a provision for flexibility in the application process for vocational training programs for unemployed workers.
