HI HB722

Removes the disqualification provision that prevents workers from receiving unemployment benefits when their unemployment is due to a labor dispute or work stoppage at their place of employment

Workers involved in strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes would become eligible for unemployment benefits under this change

Renumbers subsequent paragraphs in Section 383-30 (Hawaii Revised Statutes) and updates cross-references in Sections 383-44 and 383-141 to reflect the deletion of the labor dispute disqualification provision

Maintains existing disqualifications for unemployment benefits, including voluntary separation without good cause, discharge for misconduct, failure to apply for or accept suitable work, and fraudulent claims

Takes effect upon approval, with no impact on rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that began before the effective date
