 To provide clarification in the reimbursement to States for federally 
  funded employees carrying out Federal programs during the lapse in 
  appropriations between November 14, 1995, through November 19, 1995.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. CLARIFICATION OF REIMBURSEMENT TO STATES FOR FEDERALLY 
              FUNDED EMPLOYEES.

    (a) In General.--Section 124 of Public Law 104-56 is amended by 
adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(b) Reimbursement to States.--If a State used State funds to 
continue carrying out a Federal program during the period beginning 
November 14, 1995, through November 19, 1995, or if a State furloughed 
federally funded employees carrying out a Federal program during such 
period, the State shall be reimbursed for expenses that would have been 
paid by the Federal Government during such period had appropriations 
been available and for expenses that the State incurs if it reimburses 
such furloughed employees, together with interest theron as provided in 
section 6503(d) of title 31, United States Code. As used in this 
subsection, the term `State' has the meaning given such term by section 
6501(9) of such title.''.
    (b) Technical Amendment.--Such section is further amended by 
striking ``(a)'' and inserting ``(a)'' after ``124.''.
