AI Generated Summary

The bill, S.F. No. 1583, proposes the creation of a fraud reporting portal for employers to report potential unemployment benefits fraud in Minnesota. Introduced by senators Green, Gruenhagen, Draheim, Eichorn, and Farnsworth, the bill would amend Minnesota Statutes Chapter 268 to require the commissioner to provide an online system for employers to report applicants who:

  1. Missed a scheduled interview ("no-show").
  2. Refused a job offer.
  3. Could not be contacted for an interview, job offer, or job recall.

Additionally, the commissioner would be required to promote the portal's availability to employers. The bill also specifies that, upon request, prospective employers must be given access to an applicant’s no-show and work refusal records, even if classified as private data.
