The bill amends R.S.43:21-19 to exempt wages earned by poll workers from being counted as employment for unemployment compensation purposes. This change is designed to ensure that individuals serving as members of a district board of elections do not experience a reduction in their unemployment benefits due to the income they earn from this temporary role. By clarifying that compensation received for election duties will not affect unemployment eligibility, the bill aims to encourage participation in the electoral process among unemployed individuals who wish to contribute to their community.

In addition to the exemption for poll workers, the bill introduces new definitions related to legal transcription services, including terms such as "legal transcription service," "legal transcribing," and "legal transcriber." It also deletes a previous definition related to "employment office." Overall, the bill seeks to provide clearer guidelines for determining employment status and eligibility for unemployment benefits while ensuring compliance with federal regulations, and it is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
