Amends provisions of the Unemployment Insurance Act imposing repayment and ineligibility as penalties for knowingly making a false statement or knowingly failing to disclose a material fact for the purpose of obtaining benefits. Provides that knowingly making a false statement by an individual includes but is not limited to a false statement that he or she has sought work. Provides that knowingly failing to disclose a material fact by an individual includes but is not limited to the fact that he or she voluntarily left work, refused an offer of work, or has been discharged from work and the reason for the discharge. Provides that an individual who thereby obtains any sum as benefits for which he or she is not eligible has committed unemployment insurance fraud. Requires a statement on the Department of Employment Security's website and on specified forms stating that it is a crime to knowingly provide false, incomplete, or misleading information to any party to an unemployment security benefits transaction for the purpose of committing fraud, and describing penalties. Provides that an employer or other person from whom law enforcement or the Department of Employment Security requests information regarding unemployment insurance fraud shall take all reasonable actions to promptly provide the information requested, subject to any legal privilege protecting the information, and shall disclose information when he or she has a reasonable belief that a violation will be, is being, or has been committed, subject to any legal privilege protecting the information.
