(HOLBROOK-HOFFMAN)

   820 ILCS 405/235          from Ch. 48, par. 345                             

        Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act.  Provides  that  the  term      
   "wages"  does  not  include  the amount of remuneration received by an      
   individual for service as an election judge.  Effective immediately.        
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Employment Security)                      
          Currently there are a maximum of 57,500 election judges in Ill.      
          being paid wages totaling a maximum of $17,250,000 per year.         
          If all units of government are contributing employers paying         
          taxes, the maximum amount of annual UI taxes would be between        
          $345,000 and $388,000. The State's Unemployment Insurance Trust      
          Fund currently exceeds $1.7 billion. In addition, most units of      
          government reimburse the Trust Fund the amount of benefits paid      
          charged against their employer account in lieu of paying taxes       
          on wages paid. It is highly unlikely that the unit of govern-        
          ment would be the benefit chargeable (the last 30 day) employer      
          of an unemployment insurance claim filed by a former election        
          judge based on their work as an election judge. SB 969 would         
          alleviate the reporting requirement for units of government and      
          no revenues would be lost to the Trust Fund. There might be          
          some potential loss of UI benefits to claimants who may have         
          worked as election judges and have become subsequently unem-         
          ployed. The low wages and casual employment as election judges       
          do not come close to the minimum monetary eligibilty for             
          Unemployment Insurance, which is $1600 annually, so the              
          magnitude of the potential loss would likely not be too              
          large in the aggregate.                                              
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

          Adds reference to:

        Deletes  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.   Amends   the      
   Unemployment  Insurance  Act.  Provides that, for purposes of the Act,      
   "employment" does not include service performed on or after January 1,      
   2002 in the employ of a governmental entity as an election official or      
   election worker if the remuneration received by the individual  during      
   the  calendar  year  for  service  as an election official or election      
   worker is less than $1,000.
