STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28089 / H0075
Amend Section 617 of Chapter 6, Title 45, Idaho Code to reflect:
-Electronic transmission (email) is an acceptable method for transmitting a protest or appeal;
-The date the department receives a protest or an appeal for unemployment insurance benefits or a wage and
hour claim is the date deemed filed, or if the protest is received on a holiday, the next business day; and
-The date of mailing or service indicated on the determination is deemed the date of service.
FISCAL NOTE
The amendments proposed in this legislation represent no fiscal impact on the Idaho State General Fund because
no general fund dollars are used to pay unemployment benefits or administer the collection of unemployment
insurance taxes, nor will the passage of this bill have a fiscal impact on the Idaho Unemployment Insurance
Trust Fund. The proposed amendments simply clarify the deadlines for appealing wage and hour decisions and
determinations for unemployment insurance benefits.
