The bill amends R.S.43:21-19 to exempt wages earned by poll workers from impacting their eligibility for unemployment compensation. It specifies that individuals serving as members of a district board of elections will not have their compensation for election duties counted against their unemployment benefits. This change is designed to encourage participation in the electoral process by alleviating financial concerns for unemployed individuals who wish to serve as poll workers during elections.

In addition to the exemption for poll workers, the bill introduces definitions for "legal transcription service" and "legal transcribing," which pertains to creating and making accessible verbatim records of various proceedings. It also includes a deletion related to the computation of average weekly wages, indicating a modification in how these wages are calculated for unemployment benefits. Overall, the bill aims to clarify employment status and support individuals engaged in election-related work while ensuring they retain their eligibility for unemployment compensation.
