Summary

The bill removes Missouri's existing provision that makes claimants ineligible for benefits when their unemployment is due to a labor dispute at their last workplace. It replaces that rule with a set of eligibility requirements, such as work‑search contacts, reporting obligations, and waiting‑week conditions. The changes would affect anyone filing for unemployment benefits in the state.
