Bill Summary

Relative to unemployment payments by cities and towns. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 151A of the General Laws to clarify that state, county, or municipal governmental entities, including school districts, will not be responsible for unemployment benefits for a "sporadic employee" (meaning an employee with irregular or infrequent work) if that employee is laid off by an employer other than the governmental or school district entity. This provision aims to prevent these public entities from being held liable for unemployment payments in situations where the layoff originates from a separate employer, regardless of any other existing laws or regulations.
