Bill > HB1843

This bill repeals RCW 50.20.095, which was a previous statute concerning students' eligibility to receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. While the specific details of the original law are not provided in the text, the bill appears to eliminate an existing provision that likely imposed restrictions or disqualifications on students seeking unemployment insurance. By repealing this specific section of law, the legislature may be making it easier or changing the conditions under which students can access unemployment benefits. The repeal suggests a potential broadening of UI eligibility for students, though without the full text of the original law, the exact impact cannot be definitively stated. The bill's straightforward approach of simply removing the previous statute indicates an intent to modify existing unemployment insurance regulations as they relate to students.
