INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Beth Gaines

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

   An act to amend Section 1271.5 of the Unemployment Insurance Code,
relating to unemployment insurance.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2573, as introduced, Beth Gaines. Unemployment compensation
benefits.
   Existing law provides for the payment of unemployment compensation
benefits to eligible individuals and specifies that an unemployed
individual receiving those benefits who applies for a determination
of potential eligibility for unemployment benefits, within a
specified time period, is entitled to a training extension on his or
her unemployment compensation claim to complete approved training, as
specified. Existing law requires the Employment Development
Department to inform all individuals who claim unemployment
compensation benefits of this and other related information, as
specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
notification requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
