SB1343 Summary

• Amends section 23-617 (exempt employment definitions) and section 23-750 (special provisions for nonprofit organizations and government entities) relating to unemployment insurance.

• Modifies section 23-750 to add paragraph 5, providing that benefits paid to a claimant are not attributable to an employing unit with one employee if the employee voluntarily terminated employment without good cause attributable to the work, and the employing unit is not required to reimburse benefits if it provides sufficient information within ten business days of receiving a benefit charge notice.

• Makes technical corrections throughout both sections, including grammatical updates (changing "shall" to "is" or "permits," "prior to" to "before," "which" to "that," etc.).

• Includes conditional enactment provision requiring the U.S. Department of Labor to find the changes conform to federal unemployment insurance tax act requirements and notify Arizona by December 31, 2015, for the amended section 23-750 to become effective.

• Requires the Arizona Department of Economic Security to notify the legislative council director of whether the federal conformity condition is met.
