“the gentleman is aware that under the provisions of section 105 as currently written, under section 2 on page 26 which deals with employment status and liability, the last section of that contemplates that some of the volunteer work might be done directly for the public housing authority, because it says, unless the work is done for the public housing authority, there is no liability on the part. So if there is direct work for the public housing authority, the public housing authority would have to pay for it. If they got the work from a nursing home or someplace external, then they would have to ensure that the external source paid. This does not address, and we are not imposing, additional monetary burdens on public housing authorities.”
