A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to unemployment insurance; creating new provisions;
amending ORS 411.878, 411.886, 411.888, 411.890, 411.892,
657.190, 657.439, 657.463 and 657.925; repealing ORS 411.894;
and declaring an emergency.
Whereas the Legislative Assembly values full employment for
Oregon workers to help them overcome the many poverties of
unemployment, including mental, physical, social, spiritual and
financial poverties; and
Whereas it is the intent of the Legislative Assembly to give
all Oregonians, who are eligible for and receiving government
paid benefits, especially those likely to be long-term
unemployed, the option to use government benefits to incentivize
employers, both public and private, to provide them with
on-the-job training and work; and
Whereas the Wage Option Program for unemployment insurance
claimants described in this bill is intended to further that full
employment goal and to harmonize with existing state-administered
programs such as the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families program or programs under the federal Workforce
Investment Act of 1998; now, therefore,
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 657.190 is amended to read:
657.190. (1) In determining whether any work is suitable for an
individual, the Director of the Employment Department shall
consider, among other factors, the degree of risk involved to the
health, safety and morals of the individual, the physical fitness
and prior training, experience and prior earnings of the
individual, the length of unemployment and prospects for securing
local work in the customary occupation of the individual and the
distance of the available work from the residence of the
individual.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the
director may refer claimants to { - JOBS Plus - } { + Wage
Option + } Program jobs for which the claimant does not have
adequate skills or experience when the { - JOBS Plus - }
{ + Wage Option + } Program job is likely to result in an
upgrade in the claimant's skills and experience.
SECTION 2. ORS 657.439 is amended to read:
657.439. (1) Notwithstanding the tax rate imposed by ORS
657.462 and notwithstanding ORS 657.463, for wages paid during
the first calendar quarter of each odd-numbered year, the tax
rate paid by each employer subject to those provisions of law
shall be determined in accordance with schedule I C, II C, III C,
IV C, V C, VI C, VII C or VIII C, whichever schedule is
determined pursuant to ORS 657.459 and 657.462 to be in effect
for the year. The schedules are adopted as follows:

SECTION 5. ORS 411.878 is amended to read:
411.878. (1) In establishing and implementing a program to be
known as the JOBS Plus Program, the Legislative Assembly
recognizes that early attachment to work and development of
knowledge and skills are the most effective means of helping
people make the transition from dependence on public assistance
and subsiding in poverty to regular employment and self-reliance.
It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly to promote greater
economic self-sufficiency among Oregon families and workers by:
(a) Increasing the employability of unemployed and
underemployed Oregonians through on-the-job training;
(b) Invigorating the public-private workforce partnership
through development of jobs with both private for-profit and
public employers;
(c) Ensuring that program participants through their employment
development plans have opportunities to improve work skills,
education and employability and to establish recent work
histories with work site training, mentoring { - , individual
education accounts - } and provision of necessary support
service benefits that include child care, workers' compensation,
job placement and a guarantee that participation in the JOBS Plus
Program does not result in a reduction in net income to a
participant when compared with the participant's combined income
from the temporary assistance for needy families program, the
food stamp program and the unemployment insurance program; and
(d) Expeditiously placing program participants in subsidized
and unsubsidized employment.
(2) The JOBS Plus Program is created as a program in which
residents of the State of Oregon shall, in lieu of receiving food
stamp benefits and payments from the temporary assistance for
needy families program, be provided jobs and paid in a way that
promotes self-sufficiency and encourages unemployed Oregonians to
improve their positions in the workforce. Recipients of
unemployment insurance also shall be offered employment under the
program. The JOBS Plus Program shall be a public assistance to
work strategy for the State of Oregon and operate under the job
opportunities and basic skills program and rules adopted
thereunder to the extent such rules are not inconsistent with ORS
316.680 { - , - } { + and + } 411.877 to 411.896 { - and
657.925 - } . These rules include but are not limited to rules
regarding participation requirements, exemptions and support
services.
SECTION 6. ORS 411.886 is amended to read:
411.886. (1) The JOBS Plus Advisory Board is established. The
board shall advise the Department of Human Services and the
Employment Department in the direction and administration of the
JOBS Plus Program { + and the Wage Option Program + }
established under ORS 316.680, 411.877 to 411.896 and 657.925.
The board shall have seven members, consisting of six
representatives of the business community and one employed former
recipient of temporary assistance for needy families, the food
stamp program or the unemployment insurance program.
(2) The Governor shall appoint new members from nominees
recommended by the board.
(3) Members appointed to the board shall serve terms of three
years.
SECTION 7. ORS 411.888 is amended to read:
411.888. (1) Nominations for persons to fill scheduled
vacancies must be made to the Governor not less than 30 days
prior to the effective date of the vacancy. Nominations for
persons to fill an unscheduled vacancy shall be made to the
Governor not more than 30 days after the position becomes vacant.
(2) The JOBS Plus Advisory Board shall select one of its
members to serve as a chairperson for such terms and with duties
and powers necessary for the performance of the functions of such
office as the board determines. A majority of the members of the
board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
(3) The board shall meet at least once each quarter with the
Director of Human Services and the Director of the Employment
Department { + or their designees + }.
(4) The board shall report at least annually to the Governor
and the Legislative Assembly on the status and progress of the
JOBS Plus Program { + and the Wage Option Program + }. { - The
chairperson of the board shall have the additional duty to work
with and coordinate the local councils created in ORS
411.890. - }
SECTION 8. ORS 411.890 is amended to read:
411.890. A JOBS Plus Implementation Council { - shall - }
{ + may + } be established in service areas to be determined by
the Director of Human Services to assist the JOBS Plus Advisory
Board, the Department of Human Services and the Employment
Department in the administration of the JOBS Plus Program
{ + and the Wage Option Program + } and to allow local
flexibility in dealing with the particular needs of each county.
{ - Each council shall be primarily responsible for recruiting
and encouraging participation of employment providers in the
county. Each council shall be composed of seven members who shall
be appointed by the county commissioners in each county in the
district. Council members shall be residents of the district in
which they are appointed and shall serve four-year terms. Six
members of the council shall be from the local business
community. At least one member shall be a current or former
recipient of the temporary assistance for needy families program,
the food stamp program or the unemployment insurance program. - }
SECTION 9. ORS 411.892 is amended to read:
411.892. (1)(a) All employers, including public and private
sector employers within the State of Oregon, are eligible to
participate in the JOBS Plus Program { + and the Wage Option
Program + }. The Department of Human Services or Employment
Department, as appropriate, shall adopt by rule a method to
disqualify employers from participating in the program. No
employer is required to participate in the JOBS Plus Program
{ + or the Wage Option Program + }. In the event that there are
unassigned participants whom no employer desires to utilize, the
participants may be assigned to work for a public agency.
(b) The maximum number of program participants that any
employer is authorized to receive at any one time may not exceed
10 percent of the total number of the employer's employees.
However, each employer may receive one participant. The Director
of Human Services or Director of the Employment Department, as
appropriate, may waive the limit in special circumstances.
(c) The Department of Human Services or Employment Department,
as appropriate, by rule shall establish criteria for excluding
employers from participation for failure to abide by program
requirements, showing a pattern of terminating participants prior
to the completion of training or other demonstrated unwillingness
to comply with the stated intent of the program.
(2) The Department of Human Services or Employment Department,
as appropriate, shall ensure that jobs made available to program
participants:
{ - (a) Do not require work in excess of 40 hours per
week; - }
{ - (b) - } { + (a) + } Are in conformity with section
3304(a)(5) of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act;
