	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1472, Leno. Unemployment insurance: shared work.
   Existing law permits the payment of a reduced amount of
unemployment compensation benefits to an individual who participates
in a shared work unemployment insurance benefit program pursuant to
an approved employer plan. Existing law requires the Employment
Development Department to implement and administer the plan, and
authorizes the Director of Employment Development to terminate a
shared work plan for good cause if the plan is not being carried out
according to its terms and intent.
   This bill would require the department to also develop and
implement an outreach plan designed to provide information and inform
employers in this state of the shared work program, as provided.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1279.7 is added to the Unemployment Insurance
Code, to read:
   1279.7.  The department shall develop and implement an outreach
plan designed to provide information and inform employers in this
state of the shared work program set forth in Section 1279.5. The
plan shall include outreach to statewide and local chambers of
commerce, employer advisory councils, and small business advisory
councils.
