Washington Legislature passes unemployment bill to help workers, businesses

Washington Legislature passes unemployment bill to help workers, businesses By Associated Press Share: OLYMPIA The Washington Legislature on Friday passed a measure that would prevent a dramatic increase in unemployment taxes paid by businesses and increase the minimum weekly benefit for unemployed workers starting in July. The House passed the measure on a 89-8 vote, just two days after the Senate passed the measure on a 42-7 vote. The bill now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee, who is expected to sign it next week. Under the measure, the state’s businesses would see relief from unemployment taxes, including reductions in bills due in April. Because the bill has an emergency clause, it would take effect as soon as Inslee signs it.
