Concerns eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits for crossing guards.

This bill changes New Jersey's unemployment insurance rules for adult school crossing guards. It removes eligibility for benefits during periods between academic years or during established vacation periods if the guard has a "reasonable assurance" of being rehired for the next term. Municipalities must notify crossing guards in writing by May 15 if they won't be reappointed. Currently, some crossing guards are eligible for benefits during these periods, but this bill eliminates that eligibility for those with rehire assurance. The changes apply to adult school crossing guards employed by New Jersey municipalities.
