SB 6 - The act creates the Getting Missourians Back to Work Act of 2023. Under this act, the Division of Employment Security (DES) is required to establish a process by which open positions submitted by employers to the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will be directly shared with claimants of unemployment compensation. DES is required to establish a process by which claimants will be referred to such open positions. If a claimant fails to comply with a job referral, the person will be deemed to have failed to participate in reemployment services, as required by current law. This act has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2024.
This act is identical to a provision in SCS/SBs 777 & 808 (2022) and substantially similar to HB 1167 (2023).
