AI Summary
This bill amends the Unemployment Compensation Law to further define agricultural labor as employment for the purposes of unemployment compensation. Specifically, it clarifies that the owner, operator, or leaseholder of the land where the agricultural labor is performed is considered the employer for all purposes, even if they permit a farm labor contractor to pay the wages. The bill also updates the definition of "employment" to include agricultural labor performed after December 31, 2023, except for certain previously excluded services. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
