Martiny (SB 377) Act No. 753
Prior law provided that the administrator for the unemployment insurance fund (executive
director of the La. Workforce Commission) may enter into reciprocal arrangements with
unemployment agencies of other states or the United States, or both, regarding the payment
of unemployment contributions that are made by employers to other states or to the federal
government.
New law requires that the La. Workforce Commission will work with multi-state employers
to propose interstate reciprocal agreements that will safeguard multi-state employers from
paying duplicative unemployment insurance on the same worker and protect the solvency of
a state's trust fund by ensuring sufficient tax streams to cover benefit liabilities.
Effective August 1, 2014.
