The bill amends R.S.43:21-19 to exempt wages earned by poll workers from affecting their eligibility for unemployment compensation. It introduces new language stating that individuals serving as members of a district board of elections will not have their compensation counted against their unemployment benefits. This amendment is designed to encourage participation in the electoral process by removing financial disincentives for unemployed individuals who wish to contribute as poll workers.

Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to unemployment compensation, including the terms "legal transcription service" and "legal transcribing," which pertain to creating verbatim records of judicial and administrative proceedings. It also deletes the outdated definition of "employment office." Overall, the amendments aim to provide clearer guidelines for determining employment status and eligibility for unemployment benefits, ensuring that civic engagement does not negatively impact individuals receiving unemployment compensation.
