DIGEST
SR 244 Original 2021 Regular Session Jackson
Requests the La. Workforce Commission to study its requirements and procedures related to
unemployed individuals' search for work, as well as make an inventory of the investigatory and
enforcement tools at its disposal, review measures existing in other states to address the verification
of such work searches, particularly those states that provide mechanisms and forms for employers
to easily report job offer refusals or failures to interview for positions, and ensure that sufficient
protections exist for those unemployed who are determined to have failed to conduct a proper work
search so that they may appeal, and where found appropriate, have their benefits reinstated. Requires
that commission submit a final report that contains a detailed statement of its findings and policy
recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Senate Committee on Labor and
Industrial Relations no later than February 1, 2022.
