What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law appropriates funding to the Department of Workforce Development for various costs associated with drug testing under the unemployment insurance law, with the unspent funds being directed to the unemployment program integrity fund at the end of every fiscal year. This bill allows this funding to also be used for costs associated with identity proofing of claimants for which federal funding is unavailable.
