1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE

1995 Assembly BILL 970

February 29, 1996 - Introduced by Representatives Prosser, Jensen and Kunicki, cosponsored by Senators Rude, Farrow and Chvala, by request of Wisconsin Conservation Corps Board. Referred to Committee on Labor and Employment.

AB970,1,4 An Act to repeal 16.20 (10) (d); to renumber 16.20 (10) (e) and (f) of the statutes; and to affect 1995 Wisconsin Act 27, section 258 and 1995 Wisconsin Act 27, section 9411 (1z); relating to: eligibility of conservation corps enrollees for unemployment compensation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current state law prohibits any person working on a crew under the conservation corps program from being eligible for unemployment compensation. Under current state law, such persons are classified as corps members, assistant crew leaders, crew leaders and regional crew leaders. Under federal and state unemployment law, training programs such as the conservation corps program are exempt from providing unemployment compensation to persons receiving work training. Under those laws, crew leaders and regional crew leaders may be eligible for unemployment compensation if their duties are not limited to receiving training. This bill eliminates the prohibition against the receipt of unemployment compensation by any corps member, including crew leaders and regional crew leaders.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
