AI Summary
This bill amends the unemployment insurance laws in Massachusetts to prevent employers from being charged for benefits paid to replacement workers hired when an employee takes family or medical leave under the state's Paid Family and Medical Leave program. The bill also clarifies the definitions of "covered business entity" and "covered contract worker" in the Paid Family and Medical Leave law to account for changes in the relevant IRS tax form.
