Exempt employment. The law now provides that the term “employment” does not include services performed under a booth rental agreement or other rental agreement by a tattoo artist if the services performed by the tattoo artist are not subject to federal unemployment tax. In addition, services performed by a private investigator are exempt if the services are not subject to federal unemployment tax and there is a written contract between the private investigator and the client; the private investigator operates independently of the client; compensation for services is negotiated and paid; and the client does not furnish equipment or the place of employment to the private investigator.

Legislative review. The bureau’s review of legislative measures containing unemployment compensation benefit changes must now include information regarding the projected annual change in cost to the Fund for the ensuing five years; and the projected impact on the planned yield adjustment, the experience rating records of employers, and on employers’ experience classifications for the ensuing five years.
