AZ HB2325

Amends Arizona unemployment insurance law to modify the "on indicator" for extended benefits by changing the comparison period for total unemployment rates from "either or both" to "any or all of" the corresponding three-month periods in preceding calendar years as applicable under federal law.

Revises work search requirements for extended benefits recipients to require at least four days of systematic job search effort per week, with at least one employer contact per day, plus recertification of acceptance of suitable work and compliance with eligibility requirements.

Clarifies that the job training employer tax exclusion applies until the federal excise tax under 26 U.S.C. § 3301 is reduced to "less than" six percent (removes "or less" redundancy).

Requires the Department of Economic Security to evaluate and report on unemployment benefit reforms including employer contribution rates, small business contributions, work search requirements, and other eligibility changes, with fiscal impact analysis due to the governor and legislature by a specified date.

Makes the amended Section 23-630 retroactively applicable to April 30, 2011, and designates the act as an emergency measure effective immediately.
