Senate Bill 675 amends the funding provisions for the Department of Workforce Development under the unemployment insurance law. The bill allows for the appropriation of funds not only for drug testing and substance abuse treatment but also for identity proofing of claimants when federal funding is not available. This change aims to enhance the integrity of the unemployment insurance program by ensuring that claimants can be properly verified.

Specifically, the bill modifies the existing statute 20.445 (1) (aL) to include language that explicitly allows for the use of funds for identity proofing under section 108.14 (10m). Additionally, it maintains the provision that any unspent funds at the end of each fiscal year will be directed to the unemployment program integrity fund, ensuring that resources are effectively utilized to support the integrity of the unemployment system.
