AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to exempting  employers  from
  increases  to  their  unemployment  tax rates resulting from claims by
  employees who voluntarily  terminate  their  employment  without  good
  cause

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The opening paragraph of subparagraph 2 of paragraph (e) of
subdivision 1 of section 581 of the labor law, as amended by chapter 282
of the laws of 2002, is amended to read as follows:
  Benefits payable to any claimant with respect to the  claimant's  then
current  benefit year shall be charged, when paid, to the account of the
last employer prior to the filing of a valid original claim in an amount
equal to seven times  the  claimant's  benefit  rate.  Thereafter,  such
charges shall be made to the account of each employer in the base period
used  to  establish the valid original claim in the same proportion that
the remuneration paid by each employer to the claimant during that  base
period  bears  to the remuneration paid by all employers to the claimant
during that base  period  except  [as  provided  below:]  SUCH  PREVIOUS
EMPLOYERS  SHALL  BE EXEMPT FROM ANY INCREASES IN THEIR UNEMPLOYMENT TAX
RATES RESULTING FROM SUCH CLAIM IF THE CLAIMANT WOULD NOT HAVE  A  VALID
CLAIM  AGAINST THE PREVIOUS EMPLOYER IF SUCH CLAIM HAD BEEN FILED AT THE
TIME SUCH CLAIMANT TERMINATED EMPLOYMENT WITH SUCH PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.




 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
