Law
Employment, fund size multiplier
EMPLOYMENT SECURITY LAW – Amends existing law to adjust the desired fund size multiplier.

RS31014 / H0428

This legislation adjusts the desired fund size multiplier from 1.3 to 1.2 to temper the increase in unemployment insurance tax rates for calendar year 2024 (Idaho Code 72-1350(3)). Without adjusting the multiplier, a large tax increase would normally occur after three years of frozen tax rates. Reducing the desired fund size multiplier lowers future rates.
