Senate Committee Substitute

SCS/HCS/HB 163 - This act allows the state to continue to receive extended federal unemployment benefit funds until August 28, 2013.

Under current law, the Board of Unemployment Financing is authorized to issue, sell, and deliver credit instruments if they mature within ten years and do not remain outstanding for more than ten years. The ten year requirement is removed from both of these provisions.

Under current law, the division of employment security may contract with consumer reporting agencies to provide employing units with a secure means to provide quarterly wage reports to the division. This substitute requires such a contract.

Claimants are denied unemployment benefits for any week the claimant has an outstanding overpayment penalty.

This act contains an emergency clause.

This act is similar to SB 1026 (2010), and SB 10 (2011).
