AI Summary
This bill introduces an annual filing fee for employers who submit reports under the Employment Security Law, which is a state law that governs unemployment insurance. This fee, which the Commissioner of Labor can set by rule and regulation up to $250, will be deposited into a fund that is being renamed from the "Contractor and Professional Employer Organization Registration Cash Fund" to the "Contractor, Business, and Professional Employer Organization Registration Cash Fund." The bill also expands the permitted uses of this fund to include enforcing and administering a broader range of labor laws, such as the Employment Security Law itself, the Wage and Hour Act, and various acts related to worker protections, as well as workforce development grants. Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to other sections of law to reflect the renaming of the fund and the inclusion of the new filing fee.
