RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
SR 244 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 the commission submit a final report to the
Senate Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations no later than February 1, 2022.
