Concerns eligibility for unemployment compensation benefits for certain seasonal employees.

Summary

The bill revises the state's unemployment‑insurance statutes to let claimants keep benefits when they are on unpaid vacation, in approved training, serving on a jury, attending a close‑family funeral, working election‑day board duties, or taking part in self‑employment assistance. It also gives the director authority to relax the active‑job‑search requirement during poor economic conditions and ties continued eligibility to participation in re‑employment services.
