• Introduced by Sen. Mark Jansen (R) on January 14, 2009, to prohibit the state unemployment agency from combining the layoff experience of two related businesses for purposes of increasing their unemployment insurance tax assessment unless there have been certain disallowed business transfers or bank account commingling. This refers to concerns that some firms “game” the system by engaging in “SUTA dumping,” or transferring employees to newly created or acquired companies with lower state unemployment tax rates.
  • Referred to the Senate Commerce & Tourism Committee on January 14, 2009.
