1.Referral for review and evaluation. Whenever a legislative measure containing an unemployment compensation benefit change is proposed, the bureau shall complete
a review and evaluation pursuant to subsection 2 in advance of the public hearing on the proposed measure. Once a review
and evaluation has been completed, the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over the proposal shall
review the findings of the bureau. A proposed benefit change may not be enacted into law unless review and evaluation pursuant
to subsection 2 has been completed. For purposes of this section, a "benefit change" means any change in law that will cause
a change in the number of people eligible as well as any increase or decrease in the dollar amount, maximum amount or duration
of benefits payable.
