Modifies provisions of the employment security program

Summary

The bill replaces the existing unemployment‑benefit disqualification rules with new provisions that define when claimants can be denied benefits for quitting, misconduct, or other reasons. It also creates an "Employment Security Program Integrity Act" that requires the state division to verify claimants against national databases, prison and death records, and new‑hire data, and to pursue recovery of improper payments. The changes affect current and future unemployment claimants, employers, and the state agency that administers benefits.
