HOUSE BILL NO. 212 "An Act modifying the Alaska unemployment insurance statutes to comply with the requirements of the federal economic stimulus bill by redefining the base period for determining eligibility for unemployment benefits; and providing for an effective date." 11:33:11 AM REPRESENTATIVE HARRY CRAWFORD, SPONSOR, explained that the legislation would allow the state to put $15.6 million stimulus money into the UI trust fund. He addressed concerns that the provision would cost Alaskan employers and assured the committee that the rates employers would have to pay would be lowered. Representative Crawford added that the base period would be calculated differently with the stimulus money, but the state could return to present operations at a later date. GUY BELL, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER AND DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, referred to past testimony regarding the alternate base period. Representative Gara asked whether funds would be left over that could be used without negatively impacting employers. Mr. Bell explained that the provision would make the state eligible to receive the $15.6 million. The amount would be deposited into Alaska's unemployment insurance (UI) trust, which would then be available to pay UI benefits. The legislature would be able to appropriate some or all of the excess money for other purposes identified in the stimulus bill for re-employment services or UI administration for quality enhancements. 11:37:20 AM Co-Chair Hawker queried the administration's position on the legislation. Mr. Bell replied that the administration is neutral. Representative Crawford MOVED conceptual Amendment 1 to change the effective date from "immediately" to "January 1, 2010." Co-Chair Stoltze OBJECTED for DISCUSSION. Mr. Bell supported the amendment and explained how the department's program worked using the calendar year in calculating benefits. 11:40:02 AM Representative Crawford WITHDREW conceptual Amendment 1. He MOVED conceptual Amendment 2 to change the effective date to "the benefit year starting on January 1, 2010." Co-Chair Hawker OBJECTED for DISCUSSION. He asked that the bill be held to get the amendment into writing. He also wanted the second DLWD issue related to tribal language to be sorted out. HB 212 was HEARD and HELD in Committee for further consideration.
