UNEMPLOYMENT COMP: Provides for unemployment eligibility of certain school employees (OR INCREASE LF EX See Note)
HB 521 makes minor technical corrections to existing unemployment law regarding school employees' eligibility. It corrects a punctuation error (adding a comma) and a typo ("cross" to "crossing") in the statutory language describing eligibility rules. The bill does not change who qualifies for unemployment benefits or create new policy - it only clarifies how the current rule is written. As a procedural amendment, it directly affects the legal text but not the actual eligibility of school employees. The bill was recently referred to the Labor Committee for review.
