Unemployment benefits-failure to comply with federal law-2.

SF 1013 would amend Wyoming's unemployment benefits law to allow workers to qualify for benefits if they leave their job because their employer failed to follow federal rules about preventing the spread of COVID-19, such as vaccination mandates or safety protocols. The bill adds a new exception to the standard rule that typically disqualifies people who quit without "good cause," explicitly stating that an employer's noncompliance with federal pandemic-related requirements constitutes valid reason for leaving. This change would directly affect workers in Wyoming who face such employer noncompliance and seek unemployment benefits. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
