Disqualify certain individuals from receiving benefits under the Employment Security Law

Summary

The bill would cut a week of unemployment benefits for anyone who fails to reply to a job offer within two business days or who skips a scheduled interview without informing the employer. It requires the state unemployment department to create an online portal, email address, and phone hotline for employers to report such non‑responsive behavior, and to verify those reports before denying benefits. The measure is intended to encourage job seekers to be more responsive to employment opportunities.
