Overview: HB 4406, titled "Employment security: claimants; provisions regarding seasonal workers; eliminate", was electronically reproduced on 04/29/2025. It was introduced on March 11, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to eliminate certain provisions in state employment security law that relate to the treatment of seasonal workers and their eligibility for unemployment benefits.
Key Provisions:
- Removes the definition of "seasonal worker" from employment security statutes
- Eliminates the requirement that seasonal workers must have worked at least 20 weeks to qualify for benefits
- Allows seasonal workers to be eligible for unemployment benefits without the 20-week work requirement
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would primarily benefit seasonal workers by making it easier for them to qualify for and receive unemployment benefits, even if they have not worked the full 20 weeks typically required. Employers of seasonal workers may see an increase in unemployment claims and costs.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been electronically reproduced, indicating it has progressed through initial legislative steps. Further committee review and floor votes would be the next procedural steps.
