HB 1018 Wyoming House · 2021 Special Session

Unemployment benefits-failure to comply with local law.

HB 1018 adds a new exception to Wyoming's unemployment eligibility rules, allowing workers who voluntarily quit due to an employer's failure to follow local public health orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic to still qualify for benefits. This specifically covers situations where employers didn't comply with measures like vaccination requirements or other pandemic prevention rules authorized under Wyoming law. The bill directly affects workers who left jobs under these circumstances, ensuring they aren't disqualified from benefits they would otherwise lose for "voluntarily leaving without good cause." The law takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
