Bill > AB1350

This bill modifies the reporting requirements for the Employment Development Department (EDD) regarding its fraud prevention and detection tools in unemployment insurance programs. Currently, the department is required to submit annual analyses and assessments of its fraud prevention tools to several legislative committees, with initial reports starting in 2022. The bill changes this annual reporting mandate to a biennial (every two years) reporting schedule, with the first biennial report to be submitted on January 1, 2027. The legislation maintains the department's obligation to analyze the effectiveness of its fraud prevention and detection tools, but reduces the frequency of reporting. The bill allows the department to generalize, exclude, or redact specific details about fraud methods and tools to protect its deterrence practices. This change aims to potentially reduce administrative burden while still maintaining legislative oversight of the EDD's fraud prevention efforts in the unemployment insurance system.
