Doug Ducey on Thursday said he will end the $300 supplement to jobless benefits that were put in place because of the pandemic, effective July 10.

Several states already have announced ending the additional federal benefits that were authorized because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those other states are Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Carolina and Tennessee.

The measure also confers civil rights on fetuses at any stage of development, with an exception for embryos created via in vitro fertilization.
