Section 96.4, subsection 5, paragraph b, Code 1 2 2017, is amended by striking the paragraph. 1 3 Sec. 2. Section 96.4, subsection 5, paragraph c, Code 2017, 1 4 is amended to read as follows: 1 5 c. With respect to services for an educational institution 1 6 in any capacity under paragraph "a"or "b", benefits shall not 1 7 be paid to an individual for any week of unemployment which 1 8 begins during an established and customary vacation period 1 9 or holiday recess if the individual performs the services in 1 10 the period immediately before such vacation period or holiday 1 11 recess, and the individual has reasonable assurance that the 1 12 individual will perform the services in the period immediately 1 13 following such vacation period or holiday recess. 1 14 Sec. 3. STATE MANDATE FUNDING SPECIFIED. In accordance 1 15 with section 25B.2, subsection 3, the state cost of requiring 1 16 compliance with any state mandate included in this Act shall 1 17 be paid by a school district from state school foundation aid 1 18 received by the school district under section 257.16. This 1 19 specification of the payment of the state cost shall be deemed 1 20 to meet all of the state funding=related requirements of 1 21 section 25B.2, subsection 3, and no additional state funding 1 22 shall be necessary for the full implementation of this Act 1 23 by and enforcement of this Act against all affected school 1 24 districts. 1 25 EXPLANATION 1 26 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 1 27 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly. 1 28 Current law provides that an individual is not eligible 1 29 for unemployment insurance benefits based on service in a 1 30 capacity that is not an instructional, research, or principal 1 31 administrative capacity for an educational institution for any 1 32 week of unemployment that begins during the period between two 1 33 successive academic years or terms, if the individual performs 1 34 the services in the first of such academic years or terms and 1 35 has reasonable assurance that the individual will perform 2 1 services for the second of such academic years or terms. If 2 2 the individual is not offered an opportunity to perform the 2 3 services for an educational institution for the second of 2 4 such academic years or terms, the individual is entitled to 2 5 retroactive payments of such benefits. 2 6 This bill strikes the provision. 2 7 The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code 2 8 section 25B.3. The bill requires that the state cost of 2 9 any state mandate included in the bill be paid by a school 2 10 district from state school foundation aid received by the 2 11 school district under Code section 257.16. The specification 2 12 is deemed to constitute state compliance with any state mandate 2 13 funding=related requirements of Code section 25B.2. The 2 14 inclusion of this specification is intended to reinstate the 2 15 requirement of political subdivisions to comply with any state 2 16 mandates included in the bill. LSB 1957YH (1) 87 je/rj
