Bill > HB3288

This bill requires the Director of the Employment Department to conduct a study exploring ways to give employers more flexibility in paying quarterly unemployment insurance taxes, potentially by allowing them to spread out their tax payments over a longer period of time. Specifically, the bill directs the director to research and analyze methods that would extend the timeframe for employers to pay these taxes and then report the findings to the legislative committees focused on employment by September 15, 2026. The study and its associated requirements will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, which means the bill is designed as a temporary measure to investigate potential improvements in tax payment processes for employers. The term "unemployment insurance taxes" refers to the mandatory payroll taxes that employers pay into a state fund that provides temporary financial support to workers who have lost their jobs.
