This bill is the result of recommendations made by the Joint Sunset Committee and makes changes to the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board in terms of its composition, compensation and conduct which may warrant removal from the Board. The bill requires that the Board consist of 1 member from Sussex County, 1 from Kent County, 2 from New Castle County (with at least 1 from the City of Wilmington), and 1 at large member. The bill removes the provisions for members’ annual salaries and instead provides that the chairperson receive $200 for each meeting (not to exceed 80 meetings per year), and every other member receive $150 per meeting (not to exceed 80 meetings per year). The bill provides that a member will be considered to be in “neglect of duty” if they are absent without adequate reason for 3 consecutive meetings or fail to attend at least half of the meetings in one calendar year.

An Act To Amend Title 19 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
