Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow workers in Kentucky who lose their jobs because of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to qualify for unemployment benefits, which current law may deny them. It also requires training for staff who handle these claims and an annual report on how many such claims are paid. Employers would not be penalized on their insurance rates when a worker leaves due to these circumstances. Who it may affect: survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking who are or have been employed, and the employers of those workers.
