A bill for an act exempting service performed for certain employers from eligibility for unemployment insurance, and including applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill says work performed for employers whose owners are members of the Old Order Amish (or another recognized Amish congregation) will not count as employment for unemployment benefits, provided the employer meets certification and reporting requirements. It requires the employer to certify religious objections, prevent employees from claiming benefits, obtain written acknowledgments from workers, and file an annual election with the Department of Workforce Development. The exemption does not override federal unemployment insurance laws.
