What’s in it
AI summary If someone disagrees with a decision made by an administrative law judge about unemployment benefits, they can now take that disagreement straight to a district court. Currently, these people must first appeal to an employment appeal board before they can go to court. This change affects anyone starting an appeal for unemployment benefits after the law takes effect.1
