AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to making unemployment insur-

government shutdown
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 591-b to
read as follows:
§ 591-B. FEDERAL SHUTDOWN; BENEFITS FOR ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKERS. 1.
AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM:
(A) "ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER":
(I) MEANS AN EMPLOYEE OF A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY WHO IS REQUIRED
TO WORK WITHOUT PAY DURING A SHUTDOWN; AND
(II) IS A RESIDENT OF THIS STATE; AND
(B) "SHUTDOWN" MEANS ANY PERIOD IN WHICH THERE IS MORE THAN A TWENTY-
FOUR HOUR LAPSE IN APPROPRIATIONS FOR ANY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR
FEDERAL DEPARTMENT AS A RESULT OF A FAILURE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
ENACT A REGULAR APPROPRIATIONS BILL OR CONTINUING RESOLUTION.
2. ANY ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER SHALL BE ELIGIBLE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE BENEFITS PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE DURING THE PERIOD OF A SHUT-
DOWN. IF A SHUTDOWN ENDS AND AN ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER IS PAID BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME THE ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER
WORKED WITHOUT PAY DURING THE SHUTDOWN, THE ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER
SHALL REIMBURSE THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS THE ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER
RECEIVED DURING THE PERIOD OF THE SHUTDOWN. SUCH REIMBURSEMENT OF UNEM-
PLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS BY SUCH ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER SHALL OCCUR
WITHIN NINETY DAYS AFTER THE END OF SUCH SHUTDOWN. THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF PASSAGE OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION OR
THE ISSUANCE OF FEDERAL GUIDANCE FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR OR ANOTHER FEDERAL AGENCY WHICH ALLOWS AN ESSENTIAL FEDERAL WORKER
TO RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
