Establishes the" Employment Security and Job Referrals Act of 2024", relating to job referrals for unemployment compensation claimants

This bill creates a new program called the Employment Security and Job Referrals Act of 2024 to help people receiving unemployment benefits find work. It requires the state labor division to share job openings directly with claimants and refer them to specific positions, regardless of their employment history. The law sets rules for how claimants must respond to these referrals and allows them to appeal decisions that could reduce their benefits if they fail to reply. Employers can submit open positions to the department, which will then facilitate contact between those employers and the job seekers.
