2021 House Bill 4434 ↩

Senate Roll Call 320: Passed

To end further state participation in delivering the $300 per week "supplemental" federal unemployment benefits included in a federal "stimulus" spending bill enacted in early 2021. News reports indicate 25 other states have refused the benefits due to concerns they incentivize people not to work at a time when jobs are plentiful. The bill would also require the state unemployment agency to use clear and concise plain language in communications and determinations sent to employers and benefit claimants, with vocabulary based on a fourth-grade reading level.
