Summary

The measure revises Kentucky’s unemployment law to require claimants to register for work, complete five documented job‑search activities each week, and meet minimum wage thresholds. It also creates exemptions for people in approved training or with a clear return‑to‑work prospect, and it orders audits and annual reporting on compliance. The goal is to focus benefits on those who are actively looking for jobs.
