It looks that way to me. Here's the relevant section:
23 ‘‘(iii) MANUAL AUDIT CAPACITY.—(I)
24 Each paper ballot produced pursuant to
25 clause (i) shall be suitable for a manual
1 audit equivalent to that of a paper ballot
2 voting system, and shall be counted by
3 hand in any recount or audit conducted
4 with respect to any election for Federal of-
5 fice.
6 ‘‘(II) In the event of any inconsist-
7 encies or irregularities between any elec-
8 tronic vote tallies and the vote tallies de-
9 termined by counting by hand the indi-
10 vidual, durable voter-verified paper ballots
11 produced pursuant to clause (i), and sub-
12 ject to subparagraph (B), the individual,
13 durable voter-verified paper ballots shall be
14 the true and correct record of the votes
15 cast.
http://cha.house.gov/images/stories/Documents/hr_811_rep_lofgren_substitue.pdfOne of the major issues remaining in Florida after the recent Florida legislation becomes law is that recounts are still done by just running the ballots through the scanning machines again (in most cases).
So at least for Florida, HR 811 is complementary. The Florida legislation fixes many of the issues and HR 811 fixes what the Florida legislation doesn't.
