An Act relating to employment security contributions for certain sports officials.
HB 370 amends Alaska's unemployment insurance law to exclude certain sports officials (like referees or umpires) from being classified as "employees" for unemployment insurance contribution purposes. This means employers of these officials, such as sports leagues or event organizers, would no longer be required to pay unemployment insurance taxes on their wages. The bill adds a new exclusion to the statute's definition of "employment," specifically targeting sports officials' service. As a result, these officials would not be covered under Alaska's unemployment insurance program.
