Introduced in the Senate

Introduced by Sen. Jack Brandenburg (R-11)

To revise details of regulations governing the unemployment insurance premium assessments on professional employer organizations (PEOs) and their client firms. Specifically, the bill would reduce the layoff history "look-back" period on which premium assessments are based.
